Another Victim's Voice
Madoff got his say.
Now let's listen to Lisa Shavelson, a 35-year-old single mother.
She has a three-year-old son. She has a college degree, but she lost her job. And she has lost the income she once received from an investment with Madoff.
She gets very little child support, she says, because when that arrangement was made, she was getting income from the Madoff investment. Now that it's gone....she wrote to me...
"I was up all night trying to figure out what I am going to do. I can't afford the mortgage on my house anymore, I can't afford bills and I can barely afford food.
I have no idea where my son & I will go, or what we will do.
Before I opened my laptop, I was taking pictures of the crystal candlesticks that my aunt gave me for my wedding. It's about the most expensive thing I own."
