Madoff Investor Dies After $1.4 Billion Lost

Thierry de la Villehuchet: Madoff Investor Dies After $1.4 Billion Lost

AFP, Bloomberg, Huffington Post | December 23, 2008 01:46 PM



A friend of French money manager Thierry de la Villehuchet told a paper that he committed suicide in his New York office this week. His death has been confirmed by the medical examiner.

Villehuchet had plowed over a billion dollars he managed into Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

Villehuchet, 65, was the co-founder of Access International, a company that raised funds on European markets to invest with Madoff, the former pillar of Wall Street accused of running a multi-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.

One of his close friends confirmed a newspaper report that Villehuchet committed suicide early on Tuesday, saying he had spoken to an employee at the company's New York office and that police were at the scene.

MADOFF SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET OUT ON BAIL! WILL HE END UP SIPPING COCKTAILS WITH KEN LAY? HE SHOULD STILL BE IN PRISON WITH STRICT SUPERVISON!

HSBC banker hung himself Sunday. HSBC apparently lost billions with Madoff. COINCIDENCE?

They have taken all of our money now they go to the rich for theirs

Whatever happened to tradition?

confined to his posh, multi-million dollar Upper East side home.

without money you have very little quality of life, really none in america once you become ill or a family member becomes ill

only a very young person can truthfully say "it's only money," once you have seen someone you care about suffer terribly or even die too young because they didn't have money and you didn't have money and were helpless to do anything...well...there is no such thing as "it's only money"

a lot of charities will be closing their doors before this is all over, a lot of causes will be lost and unable to recover, a lot of families will be destroyed

in another universe, on another planet, we might have the luxury of saying "it's only money" but we live here on earth
