If Mrs. Madoff is in collusion with her husband, she needs to share his punishment. They should have to pay restitution to all those unfortunate folks that were swindled, and after everyone is paid in full, they can keep whatever is left over. The money she removed from the accounts was ill gotten gains, and she must return it. I think the jewelry they shipped to relatives should be confiscated and used to repay those investors, also. Rich people should not be above the law even if they CAN afford the most expensive lawyers. We need to hold people accountable for crimes, no matter how rich they are.
