Boyfrapp Views: They say that crime pays, although judging by the living room decor, doesn't always bring good taste, this is the New York, soon to be former, home of everyone favourite Ponzi Scheme operator's Bernard Madoff. Whilst he was downtown blowing people's life saving in the lipstick building in NYC financial district Madoff's wife lived a life luxury in this 3 bed duplex with it large terraces great for relaxing on in those warm New York summer nights. Bernie was even the president of the Co-op board, the strange apartment system, that judges whether your good enought to live there, oh dear! Well now that Bernie's has been bang up for the remainder of his days poor old, of course 100% Innocent wife ;-), who apparently has a bit of reputation in the UES social circles is being kick out in order to pay some of the debts owned. The only major selling point we can see is that it offers good space for UES standards, its on two floors and has those terraces, of course if it was on Fifth or Park Ave it would have a few more millions on the asking price. Anyhoo this is just the tip of the iceberg for Madoff's properties his Palm Beach vacation home is also on the Market for $8.5m whilst another New York state property away from Manhattan is also on the market for a few million. Of course whoever wants to buy this tainted penthouse, will have to prove themselves worthy of the co-op board, the very same co-op that had Bernie as president!
