Madoff son’s suicide followed battle with trustee

NEW YORK — For two years, the two sons of jailed financier Bernard Madoff portrayed themselves as honest whistleblowers of their father’s historic fraud. A court-appointed trustee depicted them as bungling money managers who did nothing to protect investors. The suicide of Mark Madoff leaves unanswered questions for investors seeking payback. The 46-year-old Madoff hanged himself Saturday by a dog leash on a metal ceiling beam in his Manhattan loft apartment.
