Madoff's Private Life Revealed

Secretary says he enjoyed “frequent massages.”

You can't enjoy these in prison: Madoff “had a roving eye and . . . a habit of getting frequent massages,” Madoff’s secretary, Eleanor Squillari, says in an interview in the upcoming Vanity Fair. “One day, I caught him scouting the escort pages that run alongside pictures of scantily clad women in the back of a magazine," she said. “He straightened up in his chair, startled, and said, 'I'm just looking!'” He had, apparently, about a dozen numbers for “masseuses” in his address book and would schedule hour-long “massages” in the middle of the day. Madoff would also “try to pat me on the ass,” Squillari says, and say, “You know it excites you” when he would exit his office bathroom while still zipping his fly.
