Poll question: The Gospel TRUTH, or a lame-ass bullshit attempt at mass public sympathy?
Madoffs attempted suicide on Christmas Eve
Ruth Madoff

The wife of financial swindler Bernard Madoff said in an interview to be aired Sunday that the couple attempted suicide by taking pills on Christmas Eve 2008 after his estimated $65 billion Ponzi scheme was exposed.

Madoff, 73, is serving a 150-year prison sentence after confessing to running a decades-long Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of billions of dollars, considered the biggest financial fraud in history. He was arrested on Dec. 11, 2008.

"I don't know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening," Ruth Madoff told the CBS program "60 Minutes" in her first interview.

Ruth Madoff said she and her husband took Ambien sleeping pills and possibly some Klonopin anti-anxiety pills in their suicide attempt.

3. Okay, but that wouldn't be necessary
except for all those laws and regulations and government interference.
