Sheryl Weinstein Called Former Lover a "Beast" in Court, Never Told Judge About Her Sexual Relationship


While Bernard Madoff swindled tens of millions of dollars from one of the country's leading Jewish charities, Hadassah, he was also having an affair with its chief financial officer, Sheryl Weinstein.

Weinstein reportedly admits the affair in a book to be published later this month, "Madoff's Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie and Me," to be published by St. Martin's Press on August 24. The book's subject was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Weinstein had denied a romantic relationship with Madoff to ABC News earlier in the summer. She is scheduled to appear on Good Morning America for her first exclusive television interview Aug. 25.

And she did not acknowledge the affair with Madoff when she testified against him at his sentencing hearing on June 29 and called him a "beast."

1. With the CFO? Oh man. No pun intended, but talk about...

...an inside job. I sense that the spotlight is going to swing on her behavior and it's going to be pretty bright.

2. I feel really sorry for all the folks who contribute to Hadassah

They do so many things at the local level.

I think she's going to be out of a job soon.

4. She obviously doesn't care. She is counting on getting rich from tihs book.

I thought you were not allowed to profit from books about your crimes?

All the proceeds should go into a fund to repay the investors.

5. That only applies if the criminal is convicted of his/her crimes. And even then, only if there

are laws on the books in the jurisdiction to that effect.

7. Oh....so she will profit from her misdeed...

3. I wonder if this might loosen the tongue of Mrs. Madoff????

Hell hath no fury....etc etc...

6. And now she'll make a few million on the book....

sigh.

9. Tie ties that bind: money and the heart

It sounds like the thing was all tied up in a little intertwined knot.

10. These criminals are only the tip of a much bigger high finance iceberg.

They just got caught. There are many more out there still ripping off the other greedy. Actually, if you are not greedy yourself and don't have larceny in your heart, it's pretty hard to get ripped off by the likes of these evil doers. You know what they say about birds of a feather. Of course, if you have turned your wealth over to be managed by someone else...tought break.
