USAO recovers nearly half lost Madoff principle
Congratulations to the USAO for their work recovering this much of the money.. Considering how many philanthropic organizations were injured by Madoff, this is heartening news.
Madoff trustee gets 'historic' $7B settlement NEW YORK – The trustee recovering money for Bernard Madoff's burned investors has reached a $7.2 billion settlement with the estate of a Florida philanthropist and businessman who had been the single-largest beneficiary of the fraud. The settlement with the estate of Jeffry Picower was detailed Friday in Manhattan court papers. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara (bah-RAHR'-ah) called it "a truly historic settlement" and a "game changer for Madoff's victims." Bharara said roughly half of the $20 billion in principle lost by victims has been now recovered.
