Claudine de la Villehuchet re: husband and Bernie Madoff

June 25, 2009

Claudine de la Villehuchet, the wife of Thierry de la Villehuchet, the hedge fund adviser who committed suicide after losing $1.5 billion in Bernard Madoff’s ponzi scheme, spoke out in on interview FOX Business. She discusses what kind of man her husband was – very honest, loved his job and loved her very much. Although she did not go into it, she said he said goodbye. He left his brother a note – perhaps her also. She said she had no idea that he was going to commit suicide but that he felt responsible and thought his clients would never forgive him and think he was dishonest. She says she has tried not to be angry at him for committing suicide and that it really hurts. She calls Madoff a murderer, a monster, a psychopath and says she doesn’t know how you can call someone like that a human being because how can he destroy so many people – his own people. When asked, she said she would not want to talk to him.

Still cannot find the final autopsy results and she of course did not go into it.

Bernie Madoff got 15- years which sentences him to imprisonment for the rest of his life…but his victims? They have no recourse – they can do nothing to recover their life savings. It’s gone. Madoff’s lack of cnscinence was clear when he. a Jew, ripped off the LA Jewish Community Foundation of $18M. He also stole money from other charities.

Why can’t these folks sue the SEC for lack of oversight?
