It's nothing new, but now Madoff's closest investor's widow claims Bernie Madoff is a murderer.

Quote from the article, "Those are the words of Claudine de la Villehuchet, the widow of the French aristocrat who committed suicide in December after losing $1.4 billion of his clients’ money with Bernard L. Madoff."

In a related note, more dominoes are falling as another prominent investor and a small brokerage firm have been accused of knowingly steering unwitting investors to Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
