Leaving money with Madoff turned out to be a mistake, but suing his ex b/c he made a bad divorce settlement was just plain stupid.

Musta been a "friendly" divorce (/snic).

Wonder if this had anything to do with his owing taxes?

What if the wife was the investor in the fund and she had suspicions?

Many of Madoff’s investors apparently had a good idea there was fraud involved. That is why everyone in the higher levels of a ponzi scheme can be sued for recovery.

This is sloppy reporting here.

I suspect the judge does not want to set a precident because this will create work for them. (some [or most] judges are not too smart.) If you want to see a judicially unqualified judge then look no farther than Sotomayor.

Reporters as aways ingnored the law and reporting the blood.
