     COMMENTS: Madoff’s In-Laws were Catskills Recruiters

ABC's Brian Ross kept an eye on the Bernard Madoff investigation with a telephoto lens peering into the financier's $7m Manhattan penthouse apartment windows. "The focus is now on his wife Ruth," Ross announced, as she claimed that even if her husband is imprisoned for running his investment fund as a Ponzi scheme, she has a separate $62m fortune "from money she had inherited from her parents." Ross was skeptical that the married Madoffs separated their finances: she worked as his bookkeeper when he started his business; she kept an office in his fund's headquarters; her father left her no more than $39,000 in Pitney Bowes stock in his will. Furthermore, Ross reported, Bernard had Ruth ask her parents to recruit investors for him. Check out the home video of Madoff's in-laws on a recruiting vacation at a Catskills resort.
