The sister and brother-in-law of notorious Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff were found dead in Boynton Beach, Florida from an apparent murder-suicide, the Associated Press reports.
87-year-old Sondra Wiener and her 90-year-old husband, Marvin, were found dead of gunshots in their home. “Detectives from the Violent Crimes Division arrived on scene to investigate further. After further investigation it appears to be a murder/suicide,” the Sheriff’s Office statement said.
Bernie Madoff was sentenced to more than a century in jail for an extensive Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of hundreds of millions of dollars. He died in prison last year.
