Apparently, ole Bernie played fast and loose not only with lucre, but with the ladies….in this case, the chief financial officer of the Hadassah (the Women’s Zionist Organization of America).

Sheryl Weinstein’s account, “Madoff’s Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie, and Me,” will be published Aug. 25 by St. Martin’s Press. Amazon.com Inc. and Barnes & Noble Inc. are accepting advance orders through Web site listings that disclose no details about the relationship and say that the author is “to be announced.” The author is Weinstein, said John Murphy, a spokesman for New York-based St. Martin’s.

Weinstein, 60, has denounced Madoff publicly at least four times this year, including at the June 29 court hearing where he was sentenced to 150 years in federal prison for masterminding the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Weinstein told the judge she met Madoff 21 years ago when she was chief financial officer at Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America Inc……

In addition to details of the affair, the hardcover book will include photographs and intimate descriptions of Madoff, Murphy said.”

My Comment:

As if getting ‘taken’ financially and emotionally wasn’t enough, the imprudent Ms. Weinstein now wants to go public. And to be linked forever with her nemesis. What won’t a buck – even a rapidly depreciating, underweight buck – do to people’s good sense and self-respect.

Dear Ms. Weinstein, he was a creep. He screwed you over.
Put as much distance as possible between him and you, physically and virtually.
Unless you want us to start wondering about you too..

I mean, the sentencing within 6 months, the flurry of high-profile books…
lots of handkerchiefs and wands waving…..
Maybe we should check the sleeves and see what’s being disappeared in this story.
