Madoff's Wife Withdrew Bail Amount Day Before His Arrest

Federal prosecutors and defense counsel agreed to delay the grand jury indictment of Bernard Madoff 30 days.Madoff, who was arrested by the FBI on December 11, 2008 and charged with securities fraud, had been scheduled for an indictment hearing in January, postponed until February 11, 2009, only to be rescheduled again. The 30-day extension until March should make the new indictment date Friday the 13th.
Jason Voorhees could not be reached for comment.
From the You Can't Be Serious file, today's bigger Madoff scandal story was that Ruth Madoff, the wife of the man who has confessed that the investment arm of his company was "all just one big lie," withdrew $10 million on December 10, 2008. On December 11, Bernard Madoff's bail was set for $10 million. Madoff's bail was posted that day.
What are the odds that the amount withdrawn on the day Madoff confessed his massive ponzi scheme exactly matches the amount set for bail the very next day is just sheer coincidence?

Make an example of this scum bag. Send him and the rest of his wall street buddies to prison at Gitmo in Cuba and throw the key into the ocean.

He is not worried money talks, I am sure he has money hidden somewhere, he was smart enough to scam some pretty smart people, what makes you think he wasn`t covering his ass he knew he was going to get caught sooner or later, guess he is still pretty smart, any average person would be in jail know waiting to go to court, but he is confined to his penthouse once again money talks, the wealthy always make out better don`t you find that strange
