12/16/08 Mandoff Family Values


CRIME FAMILY ????




This is London


THE WIFE of Bernard Madoff, the man at the centre of the $50billion Ponzi investment fraud, is coming under scrutiny from investigators as to how much she knew about his business and whether she helped him to raise money from their social network of wealthy individuals.


Ruth Madoff was regularly seen with her husband, entertaining at their three multi-million-dollar homes and the six golf clubs of which they were members.


She accompanied him to charity dinners, often among the elite Jewish fraternity in New York, and is a co-trustee of the $19million Madoff Family Foundation.


She has not been charged and her lawyer Ike Sorkin said: "We are in no position to tell the investigators what to look at."


The scale of the Madoff network is enormous, with close links to the No1 Spanish banking family, the Botins.....

....New York investigators are keen to find out exactly how much Mr Madoff's two sons, Mark and Andrew, knew about his Ponzi scheme.


It is reported that they blew the whistle on him to the FBI after their father told them he had lost $50billion.....


....a New York judge ordered that all the US operations of Bernard Madoff Investment Securities should be shut down and liquidated.


Madoff claimed to investigators when he was arrested that he had lost $50billion and that there was only about $300million left in what is turning out to be the biggest financial scam in history......




On Wall Street


How did Bernard L. Madoff get away with running a suspected $50 billion Ponzi scheme for decades? His own vanity and that of many of his clients played a starring role, say experts. A former NASDAQ chairman and high-profile presence on Wall Street since the 1960s, Madoff created an elite reputation and recruited clients through exclusive country clubs in the wealthy communities in Boston, Greenwich, Conn., and Palm Beach, Fla. Investors and philanthropists felt honored to get into Madoff's hedge fund that was "invitation only."


"My instinct tells me that this is not about wealth," says Randi Grant, a senior-member of the AICPA and partner of Berkowitz Dick Pollack and Brant, a CPA firm based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "He was a man with an ego and a panache and he wanted to keep it going. When I started working with wealthy families in the mid '90s, I used to see his name all over the place as the advisor to the rich and famous." Grant had clients who invested in Madoff's funds through partnerships. "People came to us and it was like they had been given a business sprinkled with fairy dust when they were able to get into his funds. They thought that they were chosen," she says......


.....A second factor in Madoff's making off with billions in client money was the fact he as both fund manager and broker-dealer, he was overseeing his own operations. "The broker-dealer was self-clearing so there was no oversight by a larger firm," says Robert Heim, a partner at law firm Meyers and Heim in New York City and a former assistant regional director at the SEC. "He was overseeing himself, there was no transparency."


Compounding matters was the fact Madoff's chief compliance officer was his son, which isn't inherently a problem but can be dicey. "Normally a chief compliance officer would look very closely at the returns and where they were coming from," says Heim. The ponzi scheme alleged here is a fairly basic fraud and would have been detected."Whether or not the Madoff sons who worked in the firm had any knowledge of the ponzi scheme, some experts speculate that they turned their father in when the jig was clearly up in a family bid for them to save themselves.


According to Ernest Badway, partner at Rothschild and Fox in Roseland N.J. and New York, and a former SEC prosecutor, the SEC was on to Madoff in the early 1990s. "In 1992 or 1993, the SEC had some examiners in there who raised some serious questions about whether or not there was a ponzi scheme going on. But counsel convinced SEC not to bring an action against him." Questions again resurfaced in a Baron's article in 2001, but that too, was dropped......



MORE:



AS the financial centres in New York and London continue to grapple with the enormity of Bernie Madoff's $50 billion scam, a single question was increasingly being heard: is there anything left?


Across America, small investors, corporate high rollers and the monied elite wait anxiously to hear if any of the cash they gave Madoff survived his world record-breaking fraud. They were joined by two British banks who are in for £1 billion between them, the City's biggest hedge fund, Man Group, Nicola Horlick's Bramdean Asset Management and fund manager Arpad Busson, among others.


They all want to know what happened to their money. Madoff is out on $10 million bail, posted by his wife Ruth, and he was spotted last night in the window of his duplex on Manhattan's East 64th Street, smoking a large cigar. Understandably, his investors are asking how much Madoff squirrelled away for himself.


Cut to a quiet corner of Mayfair and a set of offices over a smart art gallery. Here, in Berkeley Street, is the headquarters of the US investment veteran's London arm, Madoff Securities International. Compared with his huge Lipstick Building in midtown Manhattan, 12 Berkeley Street is a modest, discreet address. That's exactly how Madoff likes it. A source told the Standard that this anonymous base in Mayfair is Madoff's "dynastic piggy bank".


He kept around £80 million in cash in the London firm and used it to fund deals to benefit himself, his wife Ruth and sons Mark and Andrew. The Berkeley Street office is a trading operation, which, by the standards of Madoff's fraud, appears to handle modest sums.But by the standards of even wealthy families it is a powerful money-making tool, worked by a hand-picked staff of 28 including top analysts and investment specialists.




HSBC's massive exposure to the alleged Ponzi scheme run by Bernard Madoff will add to the pressure on the bank to seek a major fundraising, analysts said today.


The banking giant has admitted it was exposed to Madoff to the tune of $1 billion (£667 million), making it one of the worst-hit of the big European banks.


CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets said in a note to clients today that the bank may seek to raise $14 billion as the scandal added to the problems it faces of rising loan defaults in the US and the UK.

12/16/08 Greenwich Time News Links For Tuesday

Gustav Bertolf Jr., a lifelong fisherman in Greenwich, stands on the pipe carrying sewage from a broken main into the Mianus River near Strickland Road.
(Helen Neafsey/Greenwich Time photo)


Lobsterman Gustav Bertolf Jr. couldn't believe what he saw when he arrived at Cos Cob Harbor Monday morning.


A pipe approximately one foot in diameter rose from a sewer opening behind a boatyard and carried raw sewage several hundred feet before releasing it into the Mianus River. A stench hung over the site and bits of white toilet paper washed ashore in the low tide.


"This is where I launch my boat," said Bertolf, 35, "and they're pumping bacteria in the harbor. It's disgusting."


Local officials say Friday's sewer line break on Sound Shore Drive in Cos Cob is forcing the town to dump raw sewage into the Mianus River at three points, residential Chapel and Juniper lanes on its eastern shore and Strickland Road at Cos Cob Harbor on the western shore, where Bertolf stood. A town emergency is in effect until the completion of the repair, complicated by the discovery of a nearby high-pressure gas line.


But that temporary fix was still going Monday night, pumping sewage into the Mianus River over four days with no clear end point.


Commissioner of Public Works Amy Seibert said it was the town's only option, as turning off the water would have meant sewer backups across town.


"You wouldn't be able to use your water in any way," Seibert said. "That would have been a big problem."
The state Department of Environmental Protection sanctioned the bypasses on Friday, advising the town on how to divert the water, according to spokesman Dennis Schain.

Residents of Connecticut and other states in our region can breathe a healthy sigh of relief - at least healthier than it might have been.The reason is that time has run out on a Bush administration effort to change Clean Air Act rules and make them more permissive.


Under proposed rules that were pushed for years by the administration - and fought from the outset by our state - older coal-fired power plants would have been able to make substantial improvements and upgrades without installing the pollution-control equipment now required. But fortunately, officials at the federal Department of Environmental Protection reported they could not have the rules finalized before President Bush leaves office in January, a task that was complicated by a federal court decision rejecting a related measure. .....

As a long time member of the YMCA and a life-long resident, I was saddened to hear that there has been a delay in constructing access to the new pool for handicap residents. I'm sure that are loads of citizens in wheelchairs who are just waiting around to get their first dip in the beautiful pool.


Why can't the community come up with a simple solution, supported by members and other beneficiaries?


I remember having to wait decades ago, after a small back injury, to get up the strength to maneuver the many stairs, I can't fathom the loss of patience that others less fortunate than I must be feeling.

12/16/08 GREENWICH HEDGE FUND UNLIKELY TO SURVIVE: Greenwich Resident Walter M. Noel will likely be singing the blues this Christmas.




Noel and his hedge fund Fairfield Greenwich Group are at the top of a growing list of highfliers expected to topple as a result of Bernie Madoff's alleged $50 billion web of deceit.


Noel and his hedge fund Fairfield Greenwich Group are at the top of a growing list of highfliers expected to topple as a result of Bernie Madoff's alleged $50 billion web of deceit.


More than half of Fairfield Greenwich's assets - $7.5 billion of its $14 billion - have likely gone up in smoke due to Madoff's alleged misdeeds. And while the firm could sue to retrieve some of the lost money, it also faces a great risk of being sued by its own investors, many of whom relied on the firm to ensure their money was in safe hands.


Any hit to Fairfield Greenwich will inevitably financially ding the prominent Noel family, well-known in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan social circles, and who have been featured in Vanity Fair and Town & Country


"They took high fees and didn't do the due diligence," said Michael Swick, an attorney with Kahn Gauthier Swick, which is representing Madoff investors.


Already, a Swiss bank that Fairfield Greenwich merged with just three months ago severed its ties as a result of the Madoff scandal. On Sunday, Banque Benedict Hentsch terminated its partnership with Fairfield and repurchased all its capital, according to a statement released yesterday.


"The brand is damaged," said one hedge-fund executive.


Fairfield Greenwich did not respond to calls for comment.


Other funds of hedge funds are also expected to suffer as a result of the Madoff scandal. Darien, Conn., firm ..........

Fire broke out at a house on Nutmeg Drive late Tuesday morning, damaging a work shop and temporarily displacing the family who lives there, fire officials said.

No one was injured in the small house fire, according to officials, but electrical problems resulting from the blaze forced the family to find another place to stay at least for the night, according to Deputy Fire Marshal James McDonald.


"Until they get an electrician out there to fix the problems they can't stay there," said McDonald.


The fire 35 Nutmeg Drive was contained to one room, which was badly damaged, according to Deputy Chief Keith Millette, who was on scene overseeing the firefighting efforts.

He said the 10-by-20-foot workshop was completely gutted.

Firefighters raced to the home after receiving a 911 call from a woman who lived there and reported smelling smoke, officials said. Engine 4 from the Central Stationwas first on the scene, officials said.

"When they got there, there were visible flames and a lot of smoke," said McDonald.

Millette said it took firefighters 10 minutes to extinguish the blaze and officials said they are still investigating the cause.....


....Fire officials said they had not determined whether or not the smoke alarms went off prior to their arrival.

Officials did not identify the residents of the house, but town property records list the homeowners as Percy and Celina Mentore. The house is shown to be assessed at $1,065,000. The residents could not be reached for comment Tuesday due to a disconnected number.

Fire officials said the family has two children who were at school at the time of the fire. They also have three dogs who were located outside when firefighters and police arrived on scene, officials said. Animal control was initially called out to assist authorities in calming the animals who were unsettled by all the commotion, officials said.

McDonald said town fire marshals will continue to investigate the cause of the fire. There was no estimate on the cost of the damage to the house, officials said.
