Bernie Madoff Suicide Victim - Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet

It was bound to happen... suicides as a result of the Bernie Madoff scandal.

This blog post talks about
Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet and his untimely death.

According to this post:
The Bernard Madoff tragedy just got more tragic: The Associated Press reports that the founder of a Manhattan hedge fund that invested with Mr. Madoff has been found dead in his office. A French newspaper has reported that the cause of death was suicide.

The news of Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet's death, and the Madoff connection is making headlines today. He was 65-years-old and married without children. A founder of the Access International Advisors fund, he had reportedly plowed $2.1 billion into Madoff's scheme.

This man was devastated for having lost all that money with Bernie Madoff's organization. However, is that enough to take your life.? Honestly.

I've been watching the news and TV documentaries such as the one on CNBC. regarding Bernie Madoff. Thousands of people lost $billions of dollars. Many people have to start over again and at a late age.. that's gotta be devastating. However is it worth killing yourself over?

I'm quite surprised that the SEC let Bernie Madoff operate as long as it did.. Should the SEC take some of the responsibility for this Man's unfortunate suicide? My guess is they won't take responsibility, however, hopefully, secretly behind closed doors, this will change their behaviour as far as monitoring rogue funds.

I imagine that if I did a search for AIG suicides, I would see the same thing..

There have been alot of people who lost alot of money in the last few months. Is it worth killing yourself over. My feelings is that it's not. We're so used to this type of lifestyle. So what if you have to start all over again from the bottom...

Wasn't most of the fun building your fortune in the first place.?

Condolences to the family of Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet. You're the victim of a sad situation indeed!
