Wife visits Madoff

Bernard Madoff’s wife has visited him in the Manhattan jail where he has been held since pleading guilty to orchestrating perhaps the biggest Ponzi scheme in history.

Ruth Madoff arrived for her first visit to the Manhattan Correctional Centre. She said nothing to reporters before or after her roughly 90-minute stay.

Her husband admitted last month to defrauding thousands of investors of billions of dollars. His sentencing is set for June 16.
