A former employee of Ponzi monster Bernard Madoff will get some fun in the sun before the feds try to lock her up for allegedly aiding her boss’ scam.

A Manhattan federal judge yesterday approved a request by JoAnn “Jodi” Crupi for a weeklong summer sojourn to Vinalhaven, Maine, with her lesbian partner and their two adopted sons.

But Manhattan federal Judge Laura Taylor Swain said Crupi, who’s free on $5 million bond, would have to check in daily to ensure she doesn’t flee.

Prosecutors had opposed letting Crupi enjoy the vacation, which the defense described as “a regular family event.”

Crupi is accused of being a “key player” who created fake account statements to hide Madoff’s $65 billion fraud from investors and regulators.
