In New York, the son of jailed financier Bernard Madoff has been found dead on the second anniversary of his father's arrest. Mark Madoff was found hanging in his apartment, just days after he was named in a new lawsuit by the liquidators of his father's empire. Mark and his brother Andrew were under investigation but hadn't faced any charges in the massive 'Ponzi' scheme, which was the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history. 72-year-old Bernard Madoff was sentenced to a 150-year prison term for embezzling billions of dollars.
