Always good to see criminals take justice upon themselves.
(1) Mark Madoff was unaware of his father's scam until he confronted his father about some questionable business decisions, at which point he learned about - and caused to be revealed - his father's Ponzi swindle. So Mark is actually something of a hero in this story. (2) He leaves behind a small son, also a grown brother. (3) He was recently hit with enormous lawsuits from victims of his father's swindle. He may well have felt a great deal of personal guilt and shame over this affair, and over his inability to make up everyone's losses.
I suspect that somebody may have "helped" Daddy hang himself
Agreed.
Why? The guy began to fall in the chasm of depression and despair after ratting out daddy two years ago to the day he decides to check out. Seems to be some truth to the old adage of sins of the father. Bernie's boy was hit with a lawsuit going after his assets as well as the assets of his wife, ex- wife and his children, thus extending the sins of the father down two generations.
Seems to me that guilt, shame, embarrassment, depression, alienation, loss of self-respect and self-worth all constitute a fair amount of evidence to the contrary in regards to help in hanging himself. Powerful list of motivators right there.
Who do you think "helped" him hang himself and for what motive?
Bernie's boy was hit with lawsuit going after his assets as well as the assets of his wife, ex- wife and his children, thus extending the sins of the father down two generations.
Mark had over $500 Million in personal assets ALL acquired from his work with his daddy. He also had over 100 lawsuits filed against him to acquire those same assets.
His wife and kids changed their last names because of the notoriety.
