发帖数: 901 | 1 "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jean Palfrey wrote suicide notes to her mother and
sister explaining that she hanged herself because she couldn't bear the
thought of a future in prison.
"I want you to know how very much I love and appreciate you," Palfrey, 52,
wrote in sprawling script to her mother in one of the notes released Monday
by police. "However, I cannot live the next 6-8 years behind bars for what
both you and I have come to regard as this 'modern day lynching,' only to
come out of prison in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone
woman."

Last month, a federal jury convicted Palfrey of money laundering and
racketeering charges in connection to what prosecutors described as a high-
end prostitution ring whose clients included members of Washington's
political and social elite.
She was awaiting sentencing July 24 and faced a maximum of 55 years in
prison, though she was expected to receive a significantly lighter sentence
than that.

The note was one of two left behind by Palfrey, one addressed to her mother,
Blanche Palfrey, and the other to her younger sister Bobbie, according to
Tarpon Springs, Fla., police. One bore the instructions: "Do not revive."
Palfrey told her sister to "be strong for mom."
"You must comprehend that there was no other way out, i.e., 'exit strategy,'
other than the one I have chosen here," she wrote. "Know I am at peace,
with complete certainty, I believe Dad is standing watch — prepared to
guide me into the light."
Palfrey was staying at her mother's home in a trailer park in Tarpon Springs
, near Tampa, at the time of her death. Authorities said the letters were
found by the night stand next to the bed where she had been sleeping.
"Copies have been supplied to the mother and sister, who confirmed that they
were written by Deborah," Police Capt. Jeffrey P. Young said in a statement.

Palfrey took her own life Thursday morning in a shed next to her mother's
house. Blanche Palfrey, who is 76, discovered her daughter hanging from a
metal beam inside the shed and made a frantic call to 911.
The medical examiner has ruled that the cause of death was suicide by
hanging; toxicology reports are pending, police said Monday.
Addressing rampant rumors that Palfrey was murdered in an attempt to keep
her from revealing more names of her well-known clients, Young said
detectives had found no evidence indicating that Palfrey died by any means
other than suicide.
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter and former deputy secretary of state Randall L.
Tobias both were tied by investigators to Palfrey's business.
She repeatedly denied that the escort service engaged in prostitution,
saying that if any of the women performed sex acts for money, they did so
without her knowledge.
Prosecutors said she ran the prostitution service for 13 years. The trial
concluded without revealing many new details about the company or its
clients. Vitter was among possible witnesses, but did not take the stand.
Palfrey had vowed that she would not go to prison, even telling a Washington
writer that she would commit suicide first.

发帖数: 901 | 7 How to make it a perfect story?
While many lost their fortunes thanks to Bernie Madoff -- the man who
orchestrated the largest financial fraud scam in U.S. history – Stephanie
Madoff Mack lost her husband. Now, the widow of Mark Madoff, Bernie Madoff's
oldest son, is the first inside member of the Madoff family to speak out,
divulging the story of the death that she says can be traced directly to
Bernie Madoff's unbelievable deception.
In a searing and emotional interview to be broadcast Friday on "20/20," Mack
details how a privileged life in one of the richest families in America
turned into a living nightmare after Madoff's Ponzi scheme was uncovered.
Mack says the ordeal led Mark Madoff to commit suicide last December, on the
two-year anniversary of his father's arrest. Mark had first attempted
suicide in 2009, Stephanie reveals for the first time.
"He couldn't get out, he was so betrayed and so hurt by Bernie," she said.
"I hate Bernie Madoff," Stephanie said. "If I saw Bernie Madoff right now, I
would tell him that I hold him fully responsible for killing my husband,
and I'd spit in his face." | s*********8
