Madoff - Leave my wife's millions alone and I will cooperate. Hell, only about 100Mil, not bad for a Singer's wife. At a guilty plea, Madoff will have to explain how he broke the law, and Chin has authority to pose additional questions. Frenkel said it’s unlikely that the judge will question Madoff about possible accomplices “because it could affect whatever work the government is doing.”
Frenkel said Madoff appears to be aiding the government in its investigation.
“There is no question that he’s been cooperating because of both the plea to the information and because his lawyer has said as much,” Frenkel said, referring to prior comments by Sorkin that Madoff is talking to prosecutors.
Earlier this week, a judge said in court papers in a related civil suit against Madoff that his lawyers claim that Madoff’s wife, Ruth, is the sole owner of the couple’s Manhattan apartment, $45 million in bonds and $17 million in cash. These assets are “unrelated” to Bernard Madoff’s fraud scheme, the lawyer said, according to the judge. |
