Bernie Madoff After Ten Years; Recent Ponzi Scheme Cases, and the Uniform Fraudulent Transactions Act by Herrick K
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. -

Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“BMIS,” “Madoff Securities,” or “BLM”), in Irving H. Picard v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., No. 11-cv-913 (CM) (S.D.N.Y) (Dkt. No. 50) (the “Trustee Complaint”); (iv) filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other public information; (v) information and belief; and (vi) as to allegations pertaining to themselves, personal knowledge, as follows: OVERVIEW OF THE ACTION 1. On January 6, 2014, JPMorgan entered into the Deferred Prosecution Agreement wherein JPMorgan agreed to pay $2.6 billion to various federal authorities and plaintiffs in civil cases stemming from two felony violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) in connection with its two-decades-long financial relationship with Madoff. 2.

Primeo Fund V HSBC
IN THE GRAND COURT OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION Cause No. FSD 30 of2013 (AJJ) BETWEEN: PRIMEO FUND (In Official Liquidation) Plaintiff And (1) BANK OF BERMUDA (CAYMAN) LIMITED (2) HSBC SECURITIES SERVICES (LUXEMBOURG) SA Defendants In Open Court Appearances: Mr. Tom Smith QC, Mr. Richard Fisher and Mr. Robert Amey instrncted by Mourant on behalf of the Plaintiff Mr. Richard Gillis QC, Mr. William Willson, Mr. Toby Brown and Mr. Simon Gilson instructed by Campbells on behalf of the Defendants Before: The Honourable Mr. Justice Andrew J, Jones QC Released for Publication: 23 August 2017 J 70823 In the matter of Primeo Fund and Bank of Ben11uda(Cayman) Limited (I) HSBC SecurWes Services (Luxembour)SA - FSD30 o/2013 (AJJ) Judgment 1 JUDGMENT A. General Introduction I. The plaintiff in this action, Primeo Fund (In Liquidation) ("Primeo"), was one of many hedge funds, the so-called "Madoff feeder funds", whose assets were placed on a managed account with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities ("BLMIS") which turned out to have been the world's largest and most enduring Ponzi scheme. Primeo, now acting by its official liquidators, brings this action to recover damages of about US$2 billion for breaches of contract against its former administrator, Bank of Bermuda (Cayman) Limited ("BoB Cayman"), and its former custodian, HSBC Securities Services (Luxembourg) SA (formerly known as Bank of Bennuda (Luxembourg) SA) which I shall refer to as "BoB Lux" and "HSSL" depending on the context. The Bank of Bermuda group ("BoB") was taken over by HSBC Bank Pie ("HSBC") in February 2004.
