CHAIS/ (NEWSMAKER):NEWSMAKER-Stanley Chais: L.A. agent for Bernie Madoff

By Dan Whitcomb and Gina Keating

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Like Bernie Madoff in New York, Stanley ( SXE - news - people ) Chais was known among certain wealthy Los Angeles investors as a man who could defy the stock market, if only you were lucky enough to invest your funds with him.

A money manager for 40 years, Chais built a clientele that included many among the wealthy Jewish communities in the suburban San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles, where he was known as a stock market wizard whose clientele was exclusive.

With Madoff awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to a $65 billion pyramid scheme, Chais, 83, was charged in an SEC lawsuit Monday with ignoring red flags as he funneled money to his New York counterpart.

"What a lot of people were saying about Madoff in New York were things that people were saying in L.A. about Stanley," Daphne Brogdon, who said she lost her entire $80,000 IRA after investing it with Chais, told Reuters in an interview.

Brogdon, the host of TV Guide Channel's weekly series "The Fashion Team" and a contributor to CNN Headline's "Showbiz Tonight," decided to invest with Chais after being told that he was consistently beating the market.
