That's true but it's not clear they will be able to convict her.
Quite likely the only thing she knew about Bernie's money was how to
spend it.

Do not have to convict her. Just have to prove the money was spoils of
crime. Would be like you robbing a bank and giving all the money to your
wife. You are caught, but they can not get the money back, as you gave it
away? May still be in the banks bag. As to the taxing the bonus money. Is
not going to fly from what I understand. Would be a "Bill of Attainment".
Which is really unconstitutional.

This scam went on for 30 years and he never mentioned it to his wife?

Ever see Godfather?
Mobsters follow "need to know" with wives.
And Wall Street is full of mobsters.
Nobody's calling them mafiosa yet, though they've had the "made man"
concept down pat for a while.
But I did hear a business analyst yesterday calling them cockroaches,
so there is some progress into understanding the culture.

That is a fairy tale. Carmella Soprano knew Tony was in the mob and
wasn't really managing a garbage truck business. She gladly took the
stolen fur coats.

Uh oh. You've shaken my faith in the movies.
I'll have to adjust.

In the real world Victoria Gotti was also willingly receiving stolen
goods so she was part of a continuing criminal enterprise. I am not
sure why we let these wives off the hook so easily. When they
assassinated Clyde, they shot Bonnie too.

The wives lawyers will claim spousal abuse. Then they take the 5th
and cop to NOTHING.
I thought Bonnie was a gun-toting participant.
Uh oh. That was a movie.
Anyway, they might get testimony from Madoff's accountant. They
charged him with a bunch of criminal counts and he's out on $2.5
million bail I think. They're probably working him over good and he's
singing like a canary.
That might nail her.

Apparently his sons didn't know and they were working in the same
building with him. To their credit, they went to the feds the day
after he told them. Bernie's rubber stamp accountant is going down
though, not necessarily because he knew what was going on, but because
he should have if he was doing a proper audit.

Many things aren't what they seem.
Ever see "The Pink Panther"?
Maybe Madoff was framed by his wife.
Uh oh. That was just a movie.

Part of Larry Craig syndrome?
