The ReadyWriter

 

Her name is Jessica Fashano and she was an associate investment banker with Citigroup Financial. The 27-year-old banker, asked for directions to the roof of the 40-story Trump Place tower on the upper West side, a police source said.

“They have video showing her by herself; she goes out onto the roof and she jumped” the source said.

It remains a mystery why she chose to end her life on Saturday morning and why she chose the Riverside Blvd. building to do so.

Citigroup officials said in a statement Sunday. “Our thoughts are with her family at this time.”

As Fashano’s parents in her hometown of Morris Plains, N.J., mourned in private, her friends described her on Facebook as a beauty with a big heart.

Sorry for the late post people, I’m on leisure time now. 🙂

“Mark Madoff Commits Suicide”

Bernie Madoff’s oldest son, Mark, was found hung in his Million dollar condo on Saturday morning. He apparently killed himself with his son in the next room, sources say.

In early morning emails he exchanged with his wife, Madoff wrote that he was ready to end a high-flying life of privilege that hit rock bottom after his father’s Dec. 11, 2008, arrest – exactly two years earlier.

Mark’s wife, Stephanie Morgan – who changed her name from Madoff earlier this year, feared something terrible was imminent. She was vacationing with their 4-year-old daughter in Disney World.

His imprisoned dad, Bernard Madoff, received word of the tragedy inside a federal prison in North Carolina. Although Mark was never charged with any crimes in the Ponzi scheme, there was rampant speculation that he and brother Andrew were aware of the staggering scope of their father’s scam.

The Madoff family have all been estranged since their father’s arrest. It is also reported that Ruth Madoff (Bernie’s Wife) is now living in Florida and has dyed her hair red so not to be recognized in public.

It was during her husband’s second presidential bid in 2006, that doctors told her the cancer had spread to her bones, and could not be cured.
