According to documents filed by the F.B.I. at the time of the arrest, that meeting led to a private conversation on Dec. 10, 2008, in which Bernard Madoff told his sons that all the wealth and success the family seemed to possess were based on a lie - an immense Ponzi scheme that was crumbling under the pressures of the financial crisis.

The 46-year-old had been happily married since 2003 to his second wife, Stephanie, a stunning blonde who was a rising star in the fashion industry. [8]

The person said Mr. Madoff had expressed both continuing bitterness toward his father and anxiety about a series of lawsuits that were filed against him, his brother Andrew and other family members. [3]
