[My husband] "stunned us all with his confession and is responsible for this terrible situation in which so many now find themselves."
Before she agreed on a deal with the government to resolve her finances a week ago, Ruth Madoff had indicated through lawyers that she planned to try to keep the penthouse and an additional $62 million in assets as unrelated to the fraud.
Before the fraud was exposed, the Madoffs had homes in Palm Beach, Fla., the south of France and the tip of Long Island along with the midtown Manhattan penthouse. They also traveled by private jet and yacht.
SHOOT: Take it all back. I'm sure there were no questions asked when they started buying multi-billion dollar properties all around the world. How else do you bury more billions than you could possibly spend, or hide? And of course, the attitude of family is: Gasp, this is a COMPLETE shock...but can we keep the money?
NEW YORK – Federal marshals took possession of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's $7 million Manhattan penthouse on Thursday in a move that forced his wife to move elsewhere.
Proceeds from a sale of the property and its contents could be used to help reimburse those who lost billions of dollars investing with Madoff before he confessed to running a Ponzi scheme.
U.S. Marshal Joseph Guccione said the marshals arrived at the property at noon with a court order permitting them to take custody of the apartment and to make anyone living there move out.
Guccione said Madoff's wife Ruth had been advised in advance of the marshals' plans and was leaving the residence and surrendering all personal property.
"She will be leaving," he said at midday. "Restitution for the victims is the government's top priority."
By about 1 p.m., the 67-year-old Ruth Madoff had left. It was not immediately clear where she went to live.
