Bernard Madoff son 'found hanged in New York'

One of convicted US fraudster Bernard Madoff's sons has been found dead in New York in an apparent suicide, media reports say.

Mark Madoff, 46, was found hanged in his Manhattan apartment on the second anniversary of his father's arrest.

Mark Madoff and his brother Andrew were both being investigated in the case but have not been charged.

Bernard Madoff admitted last year defrauding thousands of investors through a $65bn (£41bn) Ponzi scheme.

The scheme pays out using new investors' money rather than from any profits.

Bernard Madoff, 72, is serving a 150-year prison term.

Feel sorry for his son, as he had a father who chose to kill himself and leave his son to fend for himself than to stand up and take what came and be there for his child.

Ya don't bring any penny into yar grave . . . .nor wife no 1 or 2 or 3 nor any of the children nor relative nor that house, that fancy boat nor that fancy car.

Just be happy with what ya have and if you have health and youth ya can plot world conquest or whatever.

This Maddoff made me realize how lucky I am

Mark Madoff and his brother are the ones who turned in their father, Bernie.

RIP.
