Bernie Madoff: ‘I Am a Good Person’
Bernie Madoff must be getting lonely: Just weeks after talking to
The New York Times, Madoff has given an interview again to
New York magazine. “I am a good person,” Madoff insists,
while claiming his Ponzi scheme “was a nightmare for me.”
“It’s horrible. When I say nightmare, imagine carrying this
secret,” he says. “Even the regulators felt sorry for me.”
He also says his victims were complicit in his crime: “These
banks and these funds had to know there were problems.” He s
ays his wife Ruth “quite frankly, doesn’t forgive me for what
I did,” and he addresses his son Mark’s suicide: “Let me tell you,
I cried for well over two weeks. I cried and cried. I didn’t come
out of my room. I didn’t speak to anybody, and so on. I have
tears in my eyes when I’m talking to you, even. Not a day goes
by that I don’t suffer. I may sound OK on the phone. Trust me,
I’m not OK. And never will be.”
