Madoffs investors have been put in a position of years & generations (in my case 4) of lost investment earnings, homes, retirement, children's education and charitable contributions. My husband & I have both survived cancer and now this huge occurrence of stress, aggravation & sadness. Madoff must payor his crimes &make amenities. EVERY member of his family benefited from his scam and they too must be stripped of their ill gotten gains. Madoffs wife did not work or contribute funds for her wonderful life style, where did she think the money was coming from? On the other hand, the children did work for the company and unless they are severely challenged must have had an idea of what was going on.

The damage that he and his family have done is incalculable. His wife J sons J and immediate family should be investigated fUlly to determine their complicity, The public is out~aged and very suspicious that he and his family will avoid serious penalties.The wife's assets should be seized for victim restitution and she should be made to spend the rest of her life playing bingo and eating in a soup kitchen.

    Bernie Madoff After Ten Years; Recent Ponzi Scheme Cases, and the Uniform Fraudulent Transactions Act By Herrick K. Lidstone, Jr. Burns, Figa & Will, P.C. Greenwood Village, CO 80111 Remember Bernie? Ten Years Later. On December 11, 2018, the Motley Fool (https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/12/11/3-lessons-from-bernie-madoffs-ponzi-scheme- arrest.aspx) published an article commemorating the tenth anniversary of Bernie Madoff’s arrest in 2008. Prior to his arrest, Madoff was a well-respected leader of the investment community, a significant charitable benefactor, and a Wall Street giant. That changed when Madoff was arrested and his financial empire was revealed to be the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. In March 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 different felony charges, including money laundering, perjury, fraud, and filing false documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in federal prison where he remains today at the age of 80. Five of his employees were also convicted and are serving prison sentences, one of his sons committed suicide in December 2010, and his wife Ruth’s lifestyle changed dramatically. (In his plea deal with prosecutors, Ruth was allowed to keep $2.5 million for herself.) [https://nypost.com/2017/05/14/the-sad-new-life-of-exiled-ruth-madoff/]. All of this was chronicled in The Wizard of Lies, a 2017 made-for-television movie starring Robert DeNiro as Bernie Madoff and Michelle Pfeiffer as Ruth Madoff. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1933667/]. The Madoff Ponzi Scheme. Bernie Madoff and his sons, as we recall, managed a multibillion dollar Ponzi scheme over a large number of years from Bernie’s Manhattan offices with investors all over the world and here in Colorado.

    1 An Earthquake on Wall Street Monday, December 8, 2008 He is ready to stop now, ready to just let his vast fraud tumble down around him. Despite his confident posturing and his apparent imperviousness to the increasing market turmoil, his investors are deserting him. The Spanish banking executives who visited him on Thanksgiving Day still want to withdraw their money. So do the Italians running the Kingate funds in London, and the managers of the fund in Gibraltar and the Dutch-run fund in the Caymans, and even Sonja Kohn in Vienna, one of his biggest boosters. That’s more than $1.5 billion right there, from just a handful of feeder funds. Then there’s the continued hemorrhaging at Fairfield Greenwich Group—$980 million through November and now another $580 million for December. If he writes a check for the December redemptions, it will bounce. There’s no way he can borrow enough money to cover those with- drawals. Banks aren’t lending to anyone now, certainly not to a midlevel wholesale outfit like his. His brokerage firm may still seem impressive to his trusting investors, but to nervous bankers and harried regulators today, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities is definitely not “too big to fail.” Last week he called a defense lawyer, Ike Sorkin. There’s probably not much that even a formidable attorney like Sorkin can do for him at this point, but he’s going to need a lawyer. He made an appointment for 2 | The Wizard of Lies 11:30 am on Friday, December 12.

A major aspect of the Madoff story is his rise as a specifically American Jewish type, who self-consciously exploited stereotypes to inspire trust and confidence in his counsel. Styling himself as a benefactor and protector of Jews as individuals and institutional Jewish interests, and possibly in the guise of the Jewish historical trope of shtadlan (intercessor), he was willing to threaten the well-being of all those enmeshed in his empire. The license granted to Madoff stemmed in part from the extent to which he appeared to diverge from earlier Jewish financial titans, such as Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken, in that he epitomized an absolute “insider”–as opposed to an “outsider” or marginal figure.

  • Sipc Trustee Sues Ruth Madoff
    Media Contact: Kevin McCue [email protected] 216-861-7576 SIPC TRUSTEE IRVING PICARD SUES FOUR MADOFF FAMILY MEMBERS Seeks Recapture Of At Least $198,743,299 From Madoff’s Brother, Sons, and Niece NEW YORK, NY, October 2, 2009 - Irving H. Picard, the Trustee appointed to liquidate the business of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC ("BLMIS"), filed suit today against four Madoff family members who held senior positions at BLMIS. Named in the suit are Madoff’s brother, Peter Madoff, who was BLMIS’s Chief Compliance Officer, Madoff’s two sons, Andrew and Mark, who served as Co-Directors of Trading at BLMIS, and Madoff’s niece, Shana Madoff, who was BLMIS’s Compliance Director. Through the lawsuit filed in Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan by Mr. Picard’s law firm, Baker & Hostetler LLP, the Trustee seeks to recapture for the benefit of Madoff’s investors at least $198,743,299 in customer funds which the Trustee alleges were diverted from BLMIS’s investment advisory business and transferred directly to the family members or spent on their behalf. In the Complaint, Mr. Picard explains that the family members’ “management responsibilities extended through trading operations, customer relationships, and legal and regulatory compliance, yet they were completely derelict in these duties and responsibilities. As a result, they either failed to detect or failed to stop the fraud, thereby enabling and facilitating the Ponzi scheme at BLMIS. Simply put, if the Family Members had been doing their jobs—honestly and faithfully—the Madoff Ponzi scheme might never have succeeded, or continued for so long.” Mr.
