Excerpts from the book:

"Stephanie vehemently defends her husband, saying that she never doubted his innocence for a second. According to her, Mark and Andy ran a completely separate business from their father, and when investigators found about $140 million in signed âbonusâ checks in a desk drawer when they raided Bernieâs office, âthat was a $140 million holdup-in-progress that my husband and his brother stopped. I was enormously proud that I was with the man who did the right thing... He was a hero.â
First suicide atempt:
"Picard suggested that Mark, âof all the people that should have known⦠should have known.â Mark was furious and 19 days later, he tried to kill himself. ... Mark left just before 9 a.m., and then went missing. She called 911, and later, when the apartment was surrounded by police, he returned. âI took 30 Ambiens and did not expect to wake up. What the fuck does a guy have to do to kill himself?â he said. He had checked into a nearby hotel and swallowed the pills, leaving a note on the night table: âBernie: Now you know how you have destroyed the lives of your sons by your life of deceit. Fuck you.â He was taken to the psychiatric emergency unit, and discharged after a week."
