Madoff Mets Baseball

In this Dec. 17, 2010 file photo, Irving Picard, the Securities Investor Protection Act Trustee working to recover assets for investors who lost money in the Madoff Ponzi scheme, speaks to reporters during a news conference in New York. In a trial that is set to begin Monday, March 19, 2012, the trustee recovering money for investors in imprisoned Madoff's Ponzi scheme will try to force the New York Mets owners to pay up to $303 million for distribution to less fortunate investors in the mammoth fraud. Picard’s lawyers will try to convince a nine-person civil jury that the Mets owners believed that Madoff's business was a fraud but continued their investments anyway because they were making a lot of money.
