Madoff's Wife- Does she count?

As I was cruising CNN tonight looking for a good idea for a blog post I found something that didnt relate to myths or mythology, but something that my family and I had talked about a while back, and it's something I question. When Mr. Madoff was accused of making 50 billion off a ponzi scheme in early December, my family and I wondered, what happened to his wife? Does she get the money, or does she get left on the streets with nothing. After all, no one knows if she was truly involved or even if she knew any of what was going on. Will American's have sympathy for her and try and help her and her sons get through this tough time, or will they take some of the just anger out on her? She did take 15.5 million right before her husband was arrested so does that make her out to be a bad person? Or just a woman caught in between a rock and a hard place? Was it right for her to take those 15.5 million, or should she give it back, after all, she does have to live, but does she need that much?
