The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    Every six weeks, she would get blond highlights that would cost at least $280 per salon visit.
    She loved Susan Bennis Warren Edwards shoes, which cost an average of $2,250 per pair.
    She and her husband are estranged from their sons.
    Their sons refer to them as 'Bernie' and 'Ruth' instead of 'Dad' and 'Mom.'
    While her husband's fraud victims may never recover their lost funds, she stands to acquire a $2.5 million settlement (and a $125,000 annuity) as of Summer 2009.
    She escaped the criminal charges her husband faced even though many strongly believe she knew about his investor scheme.

Why she might not be annoying:

    After her husband's sentence, the swank salon where she got her expensive highlights told her to not return.
    Her longtime florist also discontinued its relationship with her.
    She was forced out of her swanky Manhattan apartment after U.S. Marshals seized it.
    She met her husband while they were students at Queens High School.
    She has a masters degree in nutrition and co-authored the cookbook titled 'The Great Chefs of America Cook Kosher.'
    One year short of their golden wedding anniversary, her husband received a 150-year sentence for his Ponzi scheme.
    In her public statement after her husband's sentence, she expressed compassion and remorse to many of Bernie's victims, many who have lost all their retirement money and savings.
