- Ten years ago this month, New York investor Bernard Madoff was arrested and accused of masterminding a Ponzi scheme which saw him take millions of dollars from wealthy clients. One of his clients, Maureen Ebel, invested more than $5 million with him and lost her entire life savings. Ebel, who was used to living a comfortable life with homes in Florida and Pennsylvania, turned to cleaning houses to keep her head above water. #InsideEdition
From millionaire to house cleaner, sad how life can just kick you down.
By choice.
*HOW STUPID CAN A PERSON BE TO LOSE THAT MUCH MONEY*
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Can happen to any of us.

Need to own the money first
TimBurVlogs I don’t agree . Investing all that money knowing that if it didn’t work out would leave her in this situation was stupid at best and greedy at worst ... she did not have to invest that money . At her age she could have lived a good life for the next 20 - 30 years
I'll never understand why people would invest ALL of their savings. smh
She got greedy in my opinion. Bernie knew the type, he start promising massive returns her eyes grew to the size of bowling balls and Bernie said Checkmate! we got us another sucker..
One of the 7 sins: Greed.
Because she's a widow that easy to tricked
Ikr!
S Richey444 being greedy
“Forced to clean houses”.... uhh... you mean she got a job?
Kelly Martin she use to be a millionaire and now she had to work as a maid
@Sassy Queen she kinda is to pay the bills. She worked hard and her husband worked hard so she could relax at her age.....greedy man took 5 million dollars!!! Yikes I get upset when a venting machine takes my dollars....I can't imagine losing that much money.
She said she is not afraid of work and knows how to. Life is never easy. You do everything right, then bam. It's all different. She adapted, more then a lot of people can say.
Haha
No she meant forced because she never needed a job when you're a millionaire you don't need a job lady
Why put all your eggs in one basket?
fry dry it’s risk and reward
Greed.
fry dry When you have one basket only... that’s what you do.
Because it's more convient
she doesnt have any eggs
“I wasn’t born wealthy and I know how to work”
And* not but
Junelle Milfort honestly such a good person she is.
@@branimirbogosavljev1168 Indeed she is such a good person...Indeed she is.
@@RollerBladingSuxs because she worked hard for it. And I mean hard.
@@_Tovar_ Well her husband worked hard for it and I mean hard, but I'm sure she supported him.
I literally feel so bad for her, money inherited or not it was hers.
Well of course it was..it belonged to her and her husband..they were married when he does and so the money belonged to the 2 of them..so she didn't really "inherit" it..it was already hers.
They just said he left her that amount...as in he didn't leave her broke...they had a lot of money when he died
But still why did she invest her savings
Bunker Sieben she could have how tf would u know? Stupid.
It's hard for me to feel sorry for greedy ppl
she doesnt sound stuck up at all like a snobby paris hilton
She *maid* that house look clean...
😅🤣 You maid me laugh my ass off.
You maid my day😂😂
@@faaizahbismilla8350 @You Make Me Laugh 😂💯...
You maid me cry 😂
You -Maid- so many people happy 😃 good job m8
I understand it's not her fault. But investing all your life savings through one single firm is not a great idea.
It is HER fault ✔
Umm she literally made the decision. Investments carry risk...which is why they're called investments. No guarantee
this dumbass apparently
Apparently she didn't understand one of the principle of investing.
@@marswar2 how do u become a millionaire without knowing about diversifying
Like my Dad said: if something is too good to be true, it’s a scam.
He copied that from some show or movie. Ive heard that many times.
@@JeeKU It's a saying dude.
The lottery?
@Duccie Did u just assume my nationality. I'm not Indian, why would u even say that.
Your dad ia an idiot
*me when I see my homework* 1:11
Lmaooooo
😂😂😂
LMAO SAME
😂
Deaddd🤣
"We earned every penny ourselves" , She means her husband earned every penny...
Woman always take credit for a mans hard work
did they have kids? A stay home.mom works all day too you know. Her job never ends. I met a magistrate a long time ago and he told me men never give any credit to their stay home wives. It's a team job you know.
Hakuna Matata I think your stupid ask anyone who’s married to a women and they will say that they spend way more in themselves then a man I highly doubt your a mob with kids so I really don’t know what your talking about
Lol I just commented this. Inheritance is not earned...and he probably rolling over in his grave smh
IKR, if that were true then why not go back to doing whatever made her so rich??
I'm impressed with this woman who gets up, dusts herself and the furniture. Life is not what happens to you, but how you respond. And she has determination towards self-preservation which I admire.
Daaamn i can‘t believe 2009 was almost ten years ago time flies by real fast
@@NRV0 LMAO..oh to be 19! Just wait cause you ain't seen nothing yet...each year you get older the time goes by even faster...and I'm dead serious bout that
@@NRV0 I knew that math wasn't right lol
@@GarnetsWeb Haha I forgot to put the 20 next to 19. Was on my phone.
Literally my 10 year reunion is 2019 and i can't believe i blew through 10 years and it doesn't even seem like it
@@MooBerry2009 My parents alway said time goes by fast after high school, so make it count. They weren't lying! Also I hope you have fun at your reunion 🤗
A true hustler strong lady..
I love and respect when she says "I wasn't born wealthy, and I know how to work"
A widowed millionaire was an easy target for him, apparently her husband handled all of the finances and I doubt that he would've done something so risky. But I do admire her drive and willingness to live and not do the unthinkable.
It's her fault for NOT educating herself before she gave all her money over. I'm a woman who needs to know who what when and why. What I don't understand I read up on. I really wish more ppl was like that.
@@FaithandNova I agree she made a crazy mistake and it ultimately costed her her retirement.
4Given Wilson get off your high horse. Smarter men than you have been tricked by him. Read up about it and then formulate an opinion.
@@roxanateodora8874 oh hush smarter men or greedy men?? Greed is how those "smarter" men got scammed. Her investing isn't the problem it's her investing EVERYTHING.
I don't understand if you have enough to live off for the rest of your life why risk it to make more.
Greed
She had invested the money her husband made and invested. You then live off the interest so you don’t run out of money.
The problem here is gave him access to it all. Usually with that much money, you make it so that they need your signature to buy and sell anything.
@@justtresh7632--Investing has absolutely nothing to do with greed at all. See my other comment in this thread. Your comment makes me think that if you won a million $ in a lottery it would all be gone in a year. :(
@@SFVnative No it wouldn't sorry! I know how to budget and SAVE so speak for yourself!
@@justtresh7632 but isnt that greed to? 🤷🤷
She invested waaay too much, she got greedy.
Cleopatra Anthony you think that’s way too much? lol my uncle invested more than 3 times what she did, but not with any scammer. Either way I hope her the best!
I totally agree with you LoRd Dye. Got used for all my money and learned a big lesson in life.
Greed is when they say they will pay you back and they don't pay you back for anything at all. All just talk and moving the lips.
Wish I could talk to this lady about money problems.
Stefano Gomez it’s too much money because it was all the money she had. You never invest all your money. 🙄 duh.
1. That is absolutely messed up
2. ALWAYS hold back some money, in case something happens, especially when you already have all the money you need.
Well of course hindsight is 20/20
Its not rlly the guys fault its all hers.
@@stevenurbanski8149 which guys fault is it not? Why do you say "it's all her fault"?? Or you just trollin?
@@PrimateProductions its the girls fault because she should have smart investments.
“I wasn’t born wealthy, and I know how to work.” That’s the spirit.
Her biggest mistake, though, was putting all of her money in one place.
I don’t trust ANYBODY with my money.
The smart move is to learn how it works, and then do it all yourself.
It’s more work, but you have much more control that way.
1:11 LMAO SHE PUNCH THE PAPER
Lol....I've done the same thing...OMG!
That woman is so determined to survive on her own and that’s amazing. She’s not out looking for handouts and is willing to work to the bone to pay her own way. I hate that happened to her
She slapped that newspaper so hard. That’s me when I lose money at the casino😂😂😂😂
This might sound insensitive, but this a prime example of the saying of things you own end up owning you.
You could be up today & down tomorrow... I pray she regains all that was lost!
I agree hon but she will never see that money again..it is gone
Why invest your entire savings? Why not 2 millon? I dont understand people who invest all they have then end up with nothing.
Looooooool investing before paying the rest of the mortgage first... IQ ZERO
Yup I agree
This reminded me of a co-worker who invested all his money with WAMU. I warned him against putting all his money in WAMU, but he said it was “safe” and to profitable for him to pull out. Several years later, WAMU crashed and my co-worker lost all his money. His dream of early retirement is still a dream at age 70. He’s still working and he said he’ll probably work until he’s dead.
D Lee Damn..that's too bad. Well you told him so but he some people will learn the hard way sadly.
Damn thats why you dont invest when your already rich
Osu Ghoul Greed will get you broke.
No, always make your money work for you. Just be smart about it. 🙄
You should always invest your money if you're rich because if you don't invest you will go broke.
Investing means you pay less taxes and someone else makes money for you. Unless that someone happens to be a Madoff offering a 12-13% return, you should probably 1:11 him.
Why would a woman with 3 million dollars invested not have paid off her house ?
This is so sad she works so hard and it all went away 😢
Joshua Lowe yep
She inherited it all from her husband
*her husband
I clicked LIKE at the moment she said "I wasn't born wealthy and I know how to work". The determination in her eyes said SURVIVOR. You go girl.
You never invest everything you have. I’m not rich and I know that.
i wonder how she’s doing now
Yeah it’s her fault but I still feel bad for her
No matter what she is one strong woman..
*when i see my grades* 1:11
Mr Dank™ 😂
1:11 me when I see my savings account
If you were living comfortably with The money that you had ,why invest for more money this is just pure greed. It's just comes to show that just be happy what you have and be grateful for what you have
ilovemyfamgd why not it’s her Money it’s smart to invest. Just this time she got screwed over
Amanda exactly she was unfortunate to get screwed over. she deserves better justice imo
You don't understand investing. Investing is living off an income the money produces instead of draining it away to pay your expenses.
LoRd Dye True but you need to know your limits or else you will get screwed over like in this case.
IT doesn't matter how much money you have the smart thing to do is always invest it. You can't just leave your money under your bed because you will literally lose money.
I'm happy that she didn't let this ruin her life
She's got a good, humble attitude. I wish her well.
I'm sorry but when she punched the newspaper I lost it
“She dusts.... vacuumes.... and mopes the floor”
Me:
OMG ALERT THE MEDIA!!!!!!
This is why I'm terrified of investing. If I had millions I would live a nice but modest lifestyle and enjoy the financial security.
You gave him 5,000,0000 dollars though...for what?
Insane yes.
Ummm investments...did you even watch the video?
"No one gave us anything, we earned every penny ourselves". Doesn't she mean that he earned every penny himself? Because she does not seem able to handle money at all and she is just living of her deceased husbands money.
Riches to rags
When she punched that news paper o felt that 😂😂😂😂 took me out.
Where is this ''Lisa would confront'' comment?
lisa would confront Bernie's newspaper picture too?
She was forced to get a job for the first time 🤣😂🤣
She was being greedy, that's exactly what you get
I don't understand how anyone can criticize this woman. The money was hers no one had the right to steal it from her. You can call it fraud, a ponzi scheme, bad investment etc but it was really theft. He stole her money.
When she punched the newspaper 😂
If she had invested in that without Madoff she would’ve made a lot of money
"We earned every penny ourselves", thats a weird way of saying you were living off your husband's money.
In a traditional role, man provide and protect the family and women take care of household and children.
@@evarojas2567 So what ? She still didn't earn anything. The person who earned that money was her husband, not her LOL
If you get scammed, you deserved it.
am I supposed to feel sorry for this woman?
I do. I don't get jealous of people; I figure they have a right to have what they have.
It's up to you
An incredibly strong and dignified lady.
Bernie *_Madoff_* with her money
Lol...first time I heard that but surely someone has thought of it before now!!😉
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's a shame, but thank God she's humble.
Her greed got her in this postion, what happened to putting your money in a savings account and being able to live the rest of your days comfortably.
Do you understand what investing means?
Yes Sophia i know what investing means. What's your point?
@@matthewjohn3056 she wanted to make money off her savings so her money does not dwindle. If she were to spend on her savings and not invest they would slowly lower year hy year that it is possible that when she is older she will not have enough to live on or to pay for funeral/hospital expenses. Investing in businesses is one way to earn money so you have extra for later on. It is all about planning for the future. If we end up having another recession like in 2008, it is a good idea to have extra to fall back on.
@@megg2826 that's why you get get the highest interest CDs you can and live off of the interest.
@@megg2826 she had 5 million tho. you can just put that in a bank account with locked 1% interest then get 50,000 each year
i lost it when she smacked that newspaper 1:11
Imagine giving ALL of your money to one person. 🤡
Greed. 5 million would be enough for me to live comfortably and take care of my family, I wouldn't go investing it in hopes for more.
An example of her greed overriding her common sense.
Investing your money is smart not greedy. Not investing your money would literally mean you would be losing money.
@@thenoicemango1827 yes she was greedy, she saw her friends portfolio and handed her money over to someone without doing her due diligence.
I love this woman. A humble hard worker. "I wasn't born wealthy and I know how to work." Amen sister. We need more people like you in the world. Money didn't change you, you're still as strong as ever.
Wow.... She lost all her material things. Now she's mad cuz she's not rich anymore? Such cupidity.
She punched a newspaper. That's amazing XD
You didn’t earn it he earned it and left it to you
She was a nurse and worked also
She has an incredible, resilient attitude! More power to you! I wish you the best!
Damn!!! SOB!!!! I hope she’s doing ok!!
Well the show was based on her right now present time
I’ve never understood how anyone can put ALL of their eggs in one basket!! People with millions, I’m sure have financial advisers who would and should always dissuade them from doing such a thing...It’s common sense for heaven’s sake!
So UPDATE?? WHERE IS SHE TODAY????
The victims received some compensation from Madoff's sold assets an average of 30k per victim, 24,000 people fell for this scam and they learned a hard lesson
Lmaoooo when she punched the newspaper😂😂😂
Very sorry for her but you can't put all your money in one place. This is why you have to diversify your portfolio kids...
No need to rub salt in the wound. I'm sure she knows that full well now.
@@GameChanger597 yep, but at least people can learn from this
She did diversify, she just used the same broker.
@@auntiem873 so she didn't really...
ffb.6 - didn’t what? Diversify? She did. Do you know what it means?
It means you have stock in different companies that do the same thing or many different companies that do different things. You do not put all your money into ONE investment.
Using different brokers is not diversifying it’s using different brokers.
Greed costed her her money. Not Bernie
Can she clean my room?
Clean your own room soon and pick up that ice cream you dropped!😉
oh ok
she dumped all her eggs in one basket, clearly blinded by greed
Maybe you shouldn't put all your beans in one pot
Lesson to be learned: Don't invest everything you have.
If you invested 3 million and kept 2 million in reserves, this wouldn't have happened.
Horrible and unfair just how life is sometimes yet she is resilient and wants to work to live and that is what keeps her going!
Stay strong!
Shouldn’t she get her money back?? It was criminal fraud, right? Where’s the money now??
Wow sad situation 😮🤐 all your husband hard work and she gives it to Bernie madoff and Bernie wife still living good with millions and social security and she cleaning houses smmfh 😃
poor poor woman it is so tragic
Soooo why does she need a big ass house? Does she need those earrings?
1:15 PFFFFFAHAHAHAHAH THAT PETTY PUNCH! Damn im laffing my ass off rn
Oml she’s so strong she has the right mentality and perfect personality I wish nothing but the best keep strong 💪❤️
Funny he was saying he invested in Pfizer. Im here during covid lol
When I try talking to my crush 1:11
Can’t she get her money back?
I hope shes doing alot better now!!!
That was now
@@PrimateProductions no it wasn't the story is a flashback segment
"I wasn't born wealthy. I know how to work" I pray shes doing well
You can tell her husband was all the brains and this woman didn’t learn anything from him. And she wasn’t force to clean, she was forced to get a job.
1:11 me looking at mines and my ex's picture
very foolish woman!
The way she punched his picture at 1:11 was funny.
Now she lives a normal life, oh no?
When she hit the paper lmao
Never invest what your not willing to lose
I admire her strong personality. I hope she is doing well.
