    A newly revealed 2006 audit of Ponzi king Bernie Madoff’s fraudulent investment firm provided tantalizing indications that his wife — who has long claimed ignorance of her hubby’s scam — knew far more about it than she has claimed.

    In a highly-detailed report done for the Spanish-owned Banco Santander Securities, which ultimately lost $3.2 billion when the scheme collapsed, Madoff’s wife Ruth is described as playing an active role in the firm’s operation just two years before the scam was uncovered.

    “Bernie’s wife remains his bookkeeper for the business and she comes in 3 days a week,” the audit stated.

    “It contradicts everything that has been said about her. Her story’s always been about ‘Oh, I didn’t know,” but this makes it look very different,” a source familiar with the document told The Post.

    I don’t see what this is supposed to show. It’s a puff piece. She’s his “bookkeeper”; yeah, probably his lunch book. “She comes in 3 times a week”; nothing is implied about what she does when she comes in. Her hair?

    Why is everyone so hateful toward this woman? As of now, there is no evidence that she knew what her husband was up to or that she stole from anyone. I’ll bet that the same people who are criticizing her and are assuming she is guilty are the same ones who jump to the defense of every man with a beard and kippa even when convicted.

    Not only did she probably know what was going on, but their sons probably did as well. It will take many years before we really know everything about this. I just finished reading the book “No One Would Listen”, by Harry Markopolous, the man who started contacting the SEC about Madoff even as far back as in the year 2000. It’s unbelievable that nobody paid any attention to him. I think that the people who were making money just had too much to lose to expose Madoff, so they looked the other way. I don’t in any way believe that Wall Street didn’t know that something illegal was going on, and they enabled him. Sorry, there are just too many smart people who claim that they didn’t know he was a fraud and they are almost as much to blame as Madoff.

    Here’s what I don’t understand, all the other info in the statements, we now know, are bogus. So, why would I believe this one?
