(ChattahBox) — With her 71-year-old husband Bernard now sentenced to 150 years in prison, Ruth Madoff doesn’t have many friends herself right now, in fact she is basically a social pariah.

There will be no pity for Mrs. Madoff, but she has broken her silence and in a statement Monday she said that “the man who committed this horrible fraud is not the man whom I have known for all these years.” The statement acknowledged that her silence may have been interpreted as “indifference or lack of sympathy for the victims of my husband Bernie’s crime.” She said “this is “exactly the opposite of the truth” and that “not a day goes by when I don’t ache over the stories that I have heard and read.”
