Madoff trustee seeks millions from family

Irving Picard is going after the Madoff family for more than $255 million, saying that family members who were involved in business with  Bernard were "completely derelict" and should have known about the massive Ponzi scheme. The defendants in this suit are Madoff's brother Peter, who was the firm's chief compliance officer; son Andrew, who was co-director of trading; the estate of another son Mark, who was also co-director of trading and subsequently committed suicide, and niece Shana, also a compliance officer. The suit also includes the spouses of these family members and in once case an ex-spouse. We'll see if these new charges hold up in court. Article
