Bernie Madoff's other secret: A mistress

While Bernard Madoff swindled tens of millions of dollars from one of the country's leading Jewish charities, Hadassah, he was also having an affair with its chief financial officer, Sheryl Weinstein.

Weinstein reportedly admits the affair in a book to be published later this month, "Madoff's Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie and Me," to be published by St. Martin's Press on August 24. The book's subject was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Weinstein had denied a romantic relationship with Madoff to ABC News earlier in the summer. She is scheduled to appear on Good Morning America for her first exclusive television interview Aug. 25.

She told Judge Denny Chin she had met Madoff 21 years ago at a business meeting when she was the chief financial officer of the Jewish women's charity.

Why not! Chances are there was more than one mistress, when you have money you attract all kinds, especially when you are throwing a lot of it around.
