Bernie Madoff's daughter-in-law has opened up to Anderson Cooper about how her life has been turned upside down since his high-profile downfall that led to the suicide of her husband, and RadarOnline.com has a video clip of the heartfelt interview.

Stephanie Madoff Mack, who is the widow of Mark Madoff, talked about the continued backlash after Bernie's $65 million Ponzi scheme was uncovered in December 2008 and his shady dealings turned into the country's biggest ever financial fraud scandal.

She was asked by Cooper on his syndicated talk show, Anderson, how she felt about the 60 Minutes interview with the disgraced financier's wife, Ruth, and son, Andrew, in which they talked about the night Bernie confessed to them that he was living a lie.

Ruth Madoff didn’t even know what a ponzi scheme was until her husband Bernie came clean to the family about his $65 billion con in 2008, her son Andrew told 60 Minutes Sunday, where he and his mother discussed the family’s fall from high society power brokers to shame, jail and suicide.

Ruth, 70, told Morley Safer her life has been forever changed the past three years, as she "can barely walk down the street without worrying about people recognizing me."

She insisted she had no knowledge her now-incarcerated husband was perpetrating America's worst ever financial scam.

"I trusted him -- ‘Why would it ever occur to me that it wasn't legal?" she said. "The business was -- his reputation was almost legendary. Why would I ever think that there was something sinister going on?"

Larry King says he invested about $700,000 with Ponzi kingpin Bernie Madoff, and didn't lose his shirt -- or suspenders -- in the process.

King told Thursday's edition of Extra that he and his wife Shawn received their cash back from the government, as well as Madoff's estate, for tax payments they made "on stocks we never had."

"We got it back -- but a lot of people sure didn't," he said.

The disgraced Madoff family has popped back in the news lately, with Bernie's ex-wife Ruth recently admitting to 60 Minutes she and her estranged husband attempted suicide, in vain, on Christmas Eve in 2008, two weeks after his arrest.

Bernie Madoff, the convicted felon who fleeced $60 billion from investors in an elaborate Ponzi scheme, won't attend the
funeral of his son, Mark, who committed suicide this weekend, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"He will not be attending the funeral out of consideration for his daughter-n-law's and grandchildren's privacy," his lawyer, Ira Lee Sorkin, told RadarOnline.com 

"He will be conducting a private service on his own, where he is presently incarcerated."

Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina after pleading guilty in March 2009 to carrying out a decades-long fraud.

Ruth Madoff, wife of Bernie Madoff, believes her son Mark "would not have died if it weren't for what [Bernie] had done," a friend of the embattled family told an author, according to the NY Post.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Bernie’s oldest son, 46-year-old Mark Madoff, hanged himself Saturday with a dog leash in his New York City loft as his 2-year-old son slept in the next room. His suicide came on the second anniversary of his father's arrest in connection with a massive, billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.

Writer Jerry Oppenheimer, who penned the book Madoff With the Money, spoke with friends of the Madoffs, and said that Ruth remains "totally disgusted with [Bernie] and blames him for her son's death.
