'60 Minutes': Ponzi Scheme Perpetrator Bernie Madoff and Wife Attempted Suicide “I don’t know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening,” Ruth Madoff tells CBS News. Bernie and Ruth Madoff attempted suicide together on the Christmas Eve after Bernie Madoff’s multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme was made public. The revelation comes in a CBS News interview with Ruth Madoff, the only interview she has given about her husband’s crimes. “I don’t know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening,” Ruth Madoff tells 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer. “We had terrible phone calls. Hate mail, just beyond anything and I said ‘… I just can’t go on anymore.’” PHOTOS: The Most Talked-About TV News Faces Portions of the interview will air Wednesday on the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley and in its entirety on 60 Minutes Sunday, Oct. 30. The Madoffs attempted to overdose on pills: Ambien and possibly Klonopin, Ruth Madoff tells Safer. “I took what we had, he took more,” she says. “That added to the whole depression. We took pills and woke up the next day. It was very impulsive and I am glad we woke up.” The 60 Minutes piece also includes an interview with surviving son Andrew Madoff. Mark Madoff hanged himself in his Manhattan apartment on Dec. 11, 2010, while his 2-year-old son slept nearby. Bernie Madoff is serving a 150-year prison term in North Carolina. Stephanie Mack, Mark Madoff's widow, has written a book about her own ordeal - The End of Normal: A Wife's Anguish, A Widow's New Life. In an interview with ABC News' Chris Cuomo that aired last week on 20/20, Mack said that her late husband had previously unsuccessfully attempted suicide by swallowing 60 anti-anxiety and sleeping pills.

Foto: AFP SUPRUGA osramoćenog financijaša s Wall Streeta Bernarda Madoffa kazala je da su razmišljali o samoubojstvu nakon što su priznali obitelji da su ukrali milijarde dolara u najvećoj Ponzijevoj shemi u povijesti. Ruth Madoff se pojavila u emisiji CBS-a "60 minutes" u svom prvom intervju nakon što je njezin suprug uhićen u prosincu 2008. godine. Kazala je da su dobivali e-mailove pune mržnje i "strašne telefonske pozive" te su bili ustrašeni. "Ne znam čija je to bila ideja, no odlučili smo se ubiti jer je bilo grozno to što se dogodilo", kazala je Ruth Madoff te dodala kako ju je na Badnjak shrvala depresija i da je pomislila kako više tako ne može. Sretna je što nisu umrli Priznala je da su oboje popili mnogo tableta, uključujući i lijek protiv nesanice Ambien, no probudili su se sljedećeg dana. Kazala je da je to bila vrlo impulzivna odluka te da je sretna što nisu umrli. Njihov sin Mark Madoff se objesio prošle godine na godišnjicu uhićenja oca. Kao i njegovi roditelji, 14 mjeseci ranije se pokušao ubiti tabletama. Bernie Madoff je uhićen 11. prosinca 2008. godine nakon što je priznao da je prevario tisuće investitora. Zbog prevare je dobio 150 godina zatvora. Madoff je svoju Ponzijevu shemu vodio gotovo dva desetljeća koristeći svoju investitorsku kompaniju za varanje pojedinaca, humanitarnih organizacija, slavnih osoba i investicijskih fondova. Čak 20 milijardi dolara gubitaka On se koristio klasičnom Ponzijevom shemom za prevaru. To znači da je novcem od novih investitora isplaćivao stare te je od takve prevare živio vrlo luksuznim životom. Gubici su procijenjeni na 20 milijardi dolara, što je najveća investicijska prevara u američkoj povijesti.
