Also in the same paragraph.
> Madoff’s wife, Ruth, is living in a rented home in Connecticut. The government allowed her to keep $2.5 million after Madoff’s plea.
That whole paragraph felt so odd when I read it. Very callous mentioning of people hanging themselves and others dieing to cancer, and that the state apparently allowed his wife to keep $2.5 million of the stolen money. The whole thing sounds insane from a justice perspective.
