They hope you choke!
Two of Bernie Madoff’s victims are outraged that his younger brother got to publicly scarf down a pricey meal ahead of his sentencing tomorrow for helping pull off the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme.
In a letter to the judge, Jill and Nancy Miller said they are “very unhappy” that Peter Madoff got his punishment postponed from Nov. 9.
“This man was not using the time for getting his ‘tax’ situation resolved he was out an(d) about enjoying a leisurely lunch in an expensive Upper East Side restaurant where many of his victims would like to eat but can’t afford too (sic),” the hand-written missive says.
“He has his nerve showing his face and flaunting his freedom.”
The Millers also said they “hope he savored the food ’cause that’s not what he will get in PRISON!”
Another wiped-out victim, Natalie Erger, noted with disdain how Peter Madoff has asked to remain free so he can attended his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah next month.
“My grandson will be a Bar Mitzvah in November….How can we pay to fly? How much would it cost to drive? What about food and lodging?” she wrote.
“Thanks Madoff brothers.”
On the other hand, Robert Roman — whose wife, Joan, is Bernie Madoff’s sister-in-law — said that while they lost their life savings to the arch fraudster, jailing Peter Madoff “is an answer only to those who seek revenge.”
“Peter was victimized as much as Bernard’s ‘investors’ were. His fear of his brother’s domination and back-yard bullying, personally witnessed in real time by me, should not have prevailed,” he wrote.
“My family will not cast one stone for that failure nor will we receive satisfaction by the incarceration of Peter Madoff.”
