Federal marshals seized disgraced financier Bernard Madoff’s $7 million Manhattan penthouse on Thursday in a move that forced his wife to move elsewhere.

A federal official informed of Ruth Madoff’s departure from her apartment Thursday tells The Associated Press that when marshals said she couldn’t take her fur coat, she left carrying just a straw bag.The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the details of Ruth Madoff’s departure and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Proceeds from a sale of the property and its contents could be used to help reimburse those who lost billions of dollars investing with Madoff before he confessed to running a Ponzi scheme. U.S. Marshal Joseph Guccione said the marshals arrived at the property at noon with a court order permitting them to take custody of the apartment and to make anyone living there move out.
