Sharon Lissauer, Madoff Victim of Mystery
A picture in today's New York Times showed Bernard Madoff victim Sharon Lissauer speaking to the press outside the courthouse after Madoff got his 150-year stretch in the Big House. Lissauer's been quoted and photographed before. But today's image struck me. Take a look -- she was dressed to kill, and I don't mean in the sense of wanting to wring Bernie's neck:
Identified in stories as a "former model," Lissauer evidently made the most of the moment, with her mop of blonde curls, form-fitting sleeveless dress and level of comfort in front of the cameras. Is this woman on JDate? She looks like she'd be a hit.
All the articles reveal very little about her. The New York Post quoted her court appearance from Monday:
"I keep on thinking I'm going to wake up from it but it keeps on getting worse," said Sharon Lissauer. "My life and my future have been ruined. I was always so careful with my money.""I'm begging him if he has any money from offshore accounts from his family if has any hidden money that he disclose it and give it to victims to they can have a little of their lives back," she added.
"Upon reflection, I think he should spend his whole life in jail because what he's done is just despicable. ... He destroyed my spirit and shattered my dreams."
Lissauer broke down crying as she finished her statement.
Photos show her in her apartment. But otherwise, nothing else about Lissauer shows up on the Internet, a curious absence of details for a model who is much in the public eye.
Who is she?
