From $10 Million to Zero: My Husband’s Ponzi Scheme Ruined Everything


Listen Later

Imagine waking up with $10 million… and going to sleep with nothing. This week’s guest was married to the so-called Mormon Bernie Madoff, and she had no idea her husband was running a Ponzi scheme — until it all came crashing down. Andrea Merriman thought she had the perfect life: wealth, family, love. But when her husband’s secret Ponzi scheme exploded, she lost it all. This is the jaw-dropping true story of the ex-wife of the "Mormon Bernie Madoff" — how she learned the truth, raised four kids alone, rebuilt her world, and somehow… learned to love again. If you’ve ever wondered how someone survives the unthinkable, this episode is for you.
