Besides Markopolos, there were “plenty of others on Wall Street who went to the SEC, some anonymously or who used their names, so they had more than one warning,” says Erin Arvedlund, the reporter who broke the first Barron’s story in 2000. One inescapable conclusion of the Madoff disaster was that the SEC didn’t know and likely didn’t want to know he was running a Ponzi scheme. In 2006, for example, Madoff actually gave the SEC the number of his Depository Trust Account(DTC 646), yet its probers declined to make the phone call to this record-keeping entity that would have revealed Madoff’s claims of stock trading were a tissue of lies. The call would have revealed Madoff had only $18 million in his DTC account although Fairfield Greenwich feeder fund said he was handling $2.5 billion worth of their business. The SEC might also have checked with the National Association of Securities Dealers(NASD) to see if the stocks Madoff claimed to be trading were, in fact, actually being traded by him on the NASDAQ stock market. But Arvedlund said the SEC decided “this would have been too time-consuming for us to go through these records” so the records were never requested. Its reluctance may have had something to do with the fact that Madoff played a key role in NASDAQ’s formation. When Madoff founded his firm in 1960, he made trades using the National Quotation Bureau’s Pink Sheets. In order to compete with firms that were New York Stock Exchange members trading directly on the floor, according to Wikipedia, Madoff began using innovative computer information technology to disseminate its quotes—a development that led to the creation of NASDAQ, which swindler Madoff served as Chairman during 1990-91 and in 1993.

James Crown: The Israeli Connection in the Madoff Scam
Category: Christopher Bollyn
Created on 26 October 2013
Written by Christopher Bollyn
The New York Times reports that JP Morgan enabled Madoff to steal billions of dollars, while it made at least $500,000,000 in the process. The bank will pay a penalty, but will the criminal "banksters" at JP Morgan be prosecuted for enabling the scam?
“Every Israeli prime minister, every Israeli president knows the Crown family.”
- Steven Nasatir, President, Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago
“I am saying that the banks and funds were complicit in one form or another and my information to Picard when he was here established this.”
- Bernard Madoff, "From jail, Madoff says others knew," New York Times, February 15, 2011
KEY ZIONIST AGENT IN THE MADOFF RIP-OFF AT JP MORGAN - James S. Crown, a long-standing director of PEC Israel Economic Corporation, a subsidiary of Israel Discount Bank (IDB Holding), happens to be the director at JP Morgan who oversees the bank's "Risk Policy Committee."
"AND THE PEOPLE WHO ENABLED HIM" - JP Morgan made "at least" $500,000,000 on the Madoff scheme, which the bankers knew was a scam. James Crown certainly knows where Madoff's missing billions went. Will James Crown face criminal prosecution? That's the real question.
James Schine Crown is the key director at JP Morgan, since 2004, who facilitated the Madoff Ponzi scheme. Crown is also a long-standing director of an Israeli bank that is deeply involved in 9-11 and the massive financial scams that have robbed the American public and plundered the U.S. Treasury. So, Mr. Crown, where did Madoff's missing billions disappear to?
Crown's grandfather, Henry, was a Jewish gangster from Chicago who became a major weapons smuggler to the Zionist forces in Palestine. Henry Crown provided the nascent Jewish state with its first aircraft manufacturing plant - smuggled out of the United States to Israel in violation of U.S. law in the early 1950s. Henry Crown's personal lawyer was later appointed to the Warren Commission to investigate evidence of a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby. He found no conspiracy.
Henry Crown took over Texas-based General Dynamics in 1959 and won, under very dubious circumstances, a $7 billion contract to provide fighter aircraft to the U.S. with the help of Lyndon B. Johnson, shortly before the Kennedy assassination. Henry Crown's lawyer, Albert E. Jenner, was a director of General Dynamics.
November 22, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy moments before he was assassinated. Henry Crown's lawyer investigated the evidence of a conspiracy for the Warren Commission - and found none.
Likewise, agents associated with Henry Crown and Company were the first to investigate and explain what happened to the Twin Towers on 9-11. They did not find any evidence of explosives, which they did not even look for, and said the explosive collapses had been caused by fire. How is it that a Zionist Mob family from Chicago finds itself involved in all the mega-crimes of our times?
CROWN AND MADOFF
The federal criminal investigation of JP Morgan Chase and the role America’s largest bank played in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme reveals the key role played by James S. Crown, president of Henry Crown and Co., in the multi-billion dollar scam.
James Crown is grandson of Henry Crown (born Krinsky), a Zionist Jew from Chicago who started out in the sand, gravel, and concrete business and made a fortune during World War II as a chief of procurement for the U.S. Army.
It is worth noting that James Crown is also a director of the PEC Israel Economic Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Israel Discount Bank (IDB Holding). The IDB company is deeply involved in 9-11 and the massive financial rip-offs that surfaced in 2008. Crown has been a director of this Israeli financial company since 1985. As a long-standing member of the board of PEC Israel Economic Corp. Crown serves as a high-level agent of the state of Israel. He has also served as a director of General Dynamics, one of the largest defense contractors in the United States, since 1987.
Shortly after the war, Henry Crown was involved in smuggling illegal weapons technology to the state of Israel – in violation of U.S. law. Last summer, Henry’s son, Lester Crown, revealed during a gathering in Aspen, Colorado, that his father had provided the state of Israel with an entire aircraft manufacturing plant in the early 1950s, which he had been asked to buy for the Zionist state, presumably by Teddy Kollek and Shimon Peres, the Israelis who ran the illegal weapons (and nuclear) smuggling operations at the time.
Crown went on to take over General Dynamics in 1959 by merging his Material Service Corporation with the defense contractor. The Crown family has controlled General Dynamics since the mid-1960s and has made immense profits from supplying weapons and war materiel to the U.S. government.
Henry Crown was well known to be involved in organized crime at the highest levels in Chicago, which is why it seemed odd that his personal lawyer, Albert E. Jenner, was appointed to serve on the Warren Commission. Jenner’s task was to investigate the evidence of a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby.
THE 9-11 COVER-UP
Zdenek Bazant of Northwestern University and the late W. Gene Corley of CTL Group are two people, associated with Henry Crown and Co., who played key roles in the cover-up of 9-11. Bazant, a Czech immigrant, wrote a paper that was published two days after 9-11 that provided a seemingly plausible explanation for how the Twin Towers collapsed due to burning jet fuel. It is very odd that an engineering professor would write a paper about how the Twin Towers collapsed without viewing any of the evidence from the scene. Bazant works for the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern, a school - and a private university - that are both largely funded by the Crown family.
"I'M NOT A METALLURGIST" - Gene Corley (kneeling), a concrete specialist, headed the structural investigation of the Twin Towers although steel was virtually all that remained at the site. Corley admitted to the author that he knew nothing about how to test steel for evidence of explosives. Previously, Corley headed the investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing, a flawed study which earned him the Henry Crown Award in 1997.
W. Gene Corley was a concrete specialist who worked with the American Concrete Institute and received the Henry Crown Award in 1997 for his work on the investigation of the bombed-out Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Corley went on to head a similar investigation of the bombed-out World Trade Center although he did not even look for evidence of explosives and admitted that he knew nothing about tests that could be done on steel to determine if it had been exposed to explosives. “I am not a metallurgist,” he told me, although virtually all that remained at Ground Zero was twisted and mangled pieces of steel.
To give the reader some idea of the Crown family connection to organized crime, I offer this extract from an article written in 1995 by the muck-raking journalist from Chicago, the late Sherman Skolnick:
The Crowns and the Pritzkers are interlocked criminals. The Crown flagship, set up in 1919, was Material Service Corp. Over the years, they got big-city paving and cement contracts by bribing Chicago city officials! From that, they branched out into being war mongers. The Crowns have been major owners of bloody war-contractor General Dynamics. The Crowns escaped going to prison for bribing Pentagon brass. How? By bribing federal officials!
Once-president of Material Service, Lester Crown escaped jail in 1976 in a concrete industry scandal by bribing federal prosecutors in Chicago who used him only as a government witness. In the past, Lester was a director of the Vatican dope money laundry, Continental Bank.
To try to get the stink off themselves, the Crowns donate part of their loot to Northwestern University, which has a building named after them. They might as well call it "The Al Capone Center".
THE CROWN FAMILY CONNECTION TO MADOFF
To understand the Crown family connection to Madoff one needs to know a bit more than what is being told in the controlled press. The key connection is that James Crown has been a key director of JP Morgan during the time that the bank had serious doubts about the Madoff fund. More specifically, James Crown headed the committees that should have known about the scam and taken action to protect investors.
Crown serves as the chairman of JP Morgan’s “Risk Policy Committee” and previously served as chairman of the bank’s “Public Responsibility Committee.”
The mission of the two board committees that Crown headed as a bank director are, according to the JP Morgan website, the following:
The purpose of the Risk Policy Committee ("DRPC") is to assist the Board in its oversight of management's exercise of its responsibility to:
·Assess and manage the Firm's credit risk, market risk, structural interest rate risk, investment risk, liquidity risk, fiduciary risk and model risk.
·Ensure that there is in place an effective system reasonably designed to evaluate and control such risk throughout the Firm.
·Manage capital and liquidity planning and analysis.
The purpose of the Public Responsibility Committee is to:
·Provide oversight and review of the Firm's positions and practices on public responsibility matters such as community investment, fair lending, sustainability, consumer practices and other public policy issues that reflect the Firm's values and character and impact the Firm's reputation among all of its stakeholders.
·Provide guidance on these matters to management and the Board as appropriate.
James Crown was the director at JP Morgan who headed the two committees that had the obligation and authority to investigate the Madoff scam to protect the bank and its investors. Keep this in mind as you read the following report about the bank’s relationship to Madoff:
Federal authorities are preparing to take action in a criminal investigation of JP Morgan Chase, suspecting that the bank turned a blind eye to Bernard L. Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, according to the New York Times report of October 23, 2013. The following indented paragraphs are extracts from the article:
The investigation, led by the F.B.I. and the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan, centers on whether JPMorgan failed to alert federal authorities to Mr. Madoff’s conduct. JPMorgan served as Mr. Madoff’s primary bank for more than two decades, giving it a unique window onto his practices…
Irving H. Picard — the trustee seeking to recover money for Mr. Madoff’s victims — also sued JPMorgan in 2010 for $6.4 billion, saying the bank allowed “fraudulent transfers” and accusing it of “aiding and abetting” Mr. Madoff’s fraud…
The tentative $13 billion settlement in the mortgage case would resolve an array of state and federal investigations into the bank’s sale of trouble mortgage investments. The bank, authorities suspect, sold mortgage securities in the run-up to the financial crisis without fully warning investors of the risks.
JPMorgan is also grappling with an investigation into the bank’s decision to hire the sons and daughters of senior Chinese government officials. And Mr. Bharara’s office is examining whether some of the bank’s trading in the energy markets amounted to manipulation.
The Madoff case is particularly thorny. Any action would link the bank to the most notorious financial criminal in more than a generation. Mr. Madoff orchestrated a Ponzi scheme lasting decades that wiped out an estimated $17 billion in cash for his investors. Paper losses reached more than $64 billion.
Mr. Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina after pleading guilty in March 2009. In a 2011 interview from prison, Mr. Madoff told The New York Times that the banks he did business with “had to know.”
Mr. Madoff’s ties to JPMorgan trace to 1986, when it became his primary banker. Over the course of that relationship, Mr. Picard claims, JPMorgan “made at least half a billion dollars in fees and profits” from the relationship.
The bank, according to Mr. Picard’s lawsuit, generated handsome sums by allowing Mr. Madoff’s brokerage firm to “funnel billions of dollars” through its account with JPMorgan, “disregarding its own anti-money laundering duties.”
The bank, starting around 2006, also pursued derivatives deals linked to Mr. Madoff’s so-called feeder-fund investors, the hedge funds that invested their clients’ money with him.
About that time, concerns began to circulate within JPMorgan.
“I do have a few concerns and questions,” one JPMorgan employee wrote in February 2006 after studying some of Mr. Madoff’s trading records, according to an e-mail cited in the lawsuit. “All trades are generated by Madoff’s black box.”
But JPMorgan’s derivatives deals, which allowed investors to collect returns tied to the profits of the feeder funds, took off anyway. By June 2007, JPMorgan’s “Equity Exotics” unit had sold more than $130 million worth of the deals to investors, Mr. Picard’s lawsuit said.
That month, JPMorgan employees sought approval to push the total to $1.32 billion, according to the lawsuit.
On June 15, 2007, when a JPMorgan committee met to ponder the proposal, new suspicions emerged about Mr. Madoff. A senior risk management officer at the bank e-mailed colleagues to report that another bank executive “just told me that there is a well-known cloud over the head of Madoff and that his returns are speculated to be part of a Ponzi scheme.” The senior officer added that “I think we owe it to ourselves to investigate further.”
But according to Mr. Picard, the bank’s further research amounted to a phone call with Mr. Madoff and “a Google search with no follow-up.”
Similar concerns were enough to deter JPMorgan’s own private bank from doing business with Mr. Madoff. In an e-mail, a JPMorgan wealth management executive remarked that Mr. Madoff’s “Oz-like signals” were “too difficult to ignore.”
After Mr. Madoff’s arrest in December 2008, Mr. Picard said, a flurry of JPMorgan e-mails captured the lack of surprise at the bank.
One employee, referring to the agenda for the June 2007 meeting, wrote, “Perhaps best this never sees the light of day again!!”

Madoff’s money ended up in Israel, off-shore banks, and Democratic coffers
(WMR)—WMR has
learned from the executor of the estate of a woman defrauded by jailed
New York securities dealer Bernard Madoff that much of Madoff’s money
never disappeared as alleged by some but was invested in businesses in
Israel, transferred to offshore bank accounts, and pumped in small
amounts to the political campaigns of Democratic women candidates,
particularly U.S. Senate candidates, endorsed by the group EMILY’s List.
Madoff pleaded guilty to a long list of federal charges in 2009 and he was sentenced to 150 years in prison.
By providing Senate candidates with laundered cash, Madoff and his associates could ensure that legislation, such as the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, passed the Senate. Glass-Steagall provided strict controls over banks’ activities in the securities industry and established firewalls between banks and securities firms. Recipients of Madoff campaign cash were also assured that U.S. judges favorable to Madoff’s interests were appointed to the bench in the Second Circuit in New York, the court that has primary jurisdiction over Wall Street activities.
Madoff money also ended up in the coffers of Republican New York Senator Alfonse d’Amato, who helped steer prospective federal judges favorable to Madoff and his cronies on to federal benches in New York. D’Amato’s defeat by Democrat Chuck Schumer in 1998 was an even better opportunity for Madoff to influence the selection of federal judges and ensure the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Madoff and his associates also ensured that their friends were appointed as surrogate court judges. The judges appointed as guardian ad litem certain attorneys who would then direct the wealth of elderly incapacitated millionaires into Madoff’s investment schemes. Judges also made favorable rulings that saw intestate funds directed to Madoff-connected attorneys.
The coziness between Madoff and some federal judges was reported by WMR on January 12, 2009: “The U.S. District court for the Southern District of New York seems intent on keeping ex-NASDAQ chairman and $50 billion Ponzi scheme swindler Bernard Madoff confined to his Upper East Side Manhattan luxury home and not in a federal lock-up. Two judges in the New York federal circuit, Theodore Katz and Ronald Ellis, have ruled that Madoff should stay in his town house and out of prison.
Attorney General Michael Mukasey, whose son, Marc Mukasey of the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani, represents Frank DiPascali, one of the Madoff cronies. Michael Mukasey once served on the federal bench with Katz and Ellis in New York. Katz was appointed by George H. W. Bush while Ellis, an African American, was appointed by Clinton.”
WMR also reported that reported: “Madoff is suspected of transferring much of his ill-gotten gain to Israeli banks, including one, Bank Leumi, that Madoff associate J. Ezra Merkin bought from the Israeli government when Ariel Sharon was prime minister and current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was Finance Minister.”
On September 9, 2009, WMR reported: “Madoff’s close financial colleague, J. Ezra Merkin, has close ties to the IDB [Israel Discount Bank]. His father, Hermann, was a director of the bank in New York. Ezra Merkin, in addition to serving as chairman of GMAC (which received $6 billion in federal TARP bailout money), operated feeder contrivances for Madoff, including Ariel Fund in the Cayman Islands, Gabriel Capital LP, Ascot Partners, and Gotham Capital. In 2006, Merkin traveled to Jerusalem to announce that his and Stephen Feinberg’s Cerberus-Gabriel hedge fund was buying the Israeli government’s Bank Leumi for $500 million. At the ceremony was Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his finance minister, Ehud Olmert, the latter recently indicted for fraud involving pay-offs from New York businessman Morris Talansky. Those investors who were defrauded by [Texas investment banker Allen] Stanford and Madoff are looking at entities that may have been purchased with funds skimmed from their investments, including Bank Leumi.”
More recent information received by WMR from lawyers representing defrauded Madoff clients points to Israeli condominiums, co-operatives, and pharmacies being the ultimate recipients of investment money from Madoff’s coffers.
The law firm that helped steer Madoff funds into offshore accounts, according to our sources, was the New York white shoe law firm of Hughes, Hubbard & Reed (HH&R), which once counted former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes among its partners. Hughes’ son, Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., also a partner in the law firm, became Solicitor General of the United States. Ironically, HH&R was retained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2008 to assist in the financial bailout of Wall Street.
Madoff’s contributions to EMILY’s List candidates were kept to the minimum $2,400 single contributions but were made by a number of Madoff family members and business associates. Some fourteen women senators owe their Senate seats, in part, to Madoff’s largesse and their voting records supported relaxation of regulatory controls over Wall Street. Recipients, all Democrats, include California’s Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu, Maryland’s Barbara Mikulski, Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar, Michigan’s Debbie Stabenow, Missouri’s Claire McCaskill, New Hampshire’s Jeanne Shaheen, New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand, North Carolina’s Kay Hagen, and Washington’s Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Other major recipients of Madoff cash included former senators Hillary Clinton of New York, Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois, and Jean Carnahan of Missouri. In the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, EMILY’s List endorsed Clinton over Barack Obama, earning the group long-term political repercussions from the Obama administration.
WMR’s sources also report that one long-time associate of Madoff and his family was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In fact, we are told, the list of Madoff victims has been purposely kept secret in order to protect the identities of Madoff’s feeder fund principals and business associates, many of whom became friendly with the now-disgraced securities dealer through their membership in Madoff’s Fifth Avenue Synagogue as well as another synagogue that counted a number of Foley Square judges among its members, the Bialystok Synagogue on the Lower East Side.
WMR has been told the recent arrest of William Rapfogel, the former head of the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, is an outgrowth of the Madoff scandal. Rapfogel is charged with stealing $5 million from the Jewish charity. Rapfogel’s wife, Judy, serves as chief of staff to New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Rapfogel and Silver are good friends. Silver has ensured that Rapfogel’s charity has received millions of dollars in state outlays for public services. Bernard Madoff had a close connection to Rapfogel and Sheldon Silver through his younger brother Peter Madoff, his firm’s compliance officer who is now serving a 10-year sentence for fraud. According to our sources, Peter Madoff, Sheldon Silver, and Rapfogel were all good friends through their association with the Bialystok Synagogue.

In 2006, Merkin traveled to Jerusalem to announce that his and Stephen Feinberg’s Cerberus-Gabriel hedge fund was buying the Israeli government’s Bank Leumi for $500 million. At the ceremony was Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his finance minister, Ehud Olmert, the latter recently indicted for fraud involving pay-offs from New York businessman Morris Talansky. Those investors who were defrauded by [Texas investment banker Allen] Stanford and Madoff are looking at entities that may have been purchased with funds skimmed from their investments, including Bank Leumi.”
More recent information received by WMR from lawyers representing defrauded Madoff clients points to Israeli condominiums, co-operatives, and pharmacies being the ultimate recipients of investment money from Madoff’s coffers.
The law firm that helped steer Madoff funds into offshore accounts, according to our sources, was the New York white shoe law firm of Hughes, Hubbard & Reed (HH&R), which once counted former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes among its partners. Hughes’ son, Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., also a partner in the law firm, became Solicitor General of the United States. Ironically, HH&R was retained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2008 to assist in the financial bailout of Wall Street.
Madoff’s contributions to EMILY’s List candidates were kept to the minimum $2,400 single contributions but were made by a number of Madoff family members and business associates. Some fourteen women senators owe their Senate seats, in part, to Madoff’s largesse and their voting records supported relaxation of regulatory controls over Wall Street. Recipients, all Democrats, include California’s Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu, Maryland’s Barbara Mikulski, Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar, Michigan’s Debbie Stabenow, Missouri’s Claire McCaskill, New Hampshire’s Jeanne Shaheen, New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand, North Carolina’s Kay Hagen, and Washington’s Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Other major recipients of Madoff cash included former senators Hillary Clinton of New York, Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois, and Jean Carnahan of Missouri. In the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, EMILY’s List endorsed Clinton over Barack Obama, earning the group long-term political repercussions from the Obama administration.
WMR’s sources also report that one long-time associate of Madoff and his family was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In fact, we are told, the list of Madoff victims has been purposely kept secret in order to protect the identities of Madoff’s feeder fund principals and business associates, many of whom became friendly with the now-disgraced securities dealer through their membership in Madoff’s Fifth Avenue Synagogue as well as another synagogue that counted a number of Foley Square judges among its members, the Bialystok Synagogue on the Lower East Side.
WMR has been told the recent arrest of William Rapfogel, the former head of the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, is an outgrowth of the Madoff scandal. Rapfogel is charged with stealing $5 million from the Jewish charity. Rapfogel’s wife, Judy, serves as chief of staff to New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Rapfogel and Silver are good friends. Silver has ensured that Rapfogel’s charity has received millions of dollars in state outlays for public services. Bernard Madoff had a close connection to Rapfogel and Sheldon Silver through his younger brother Peter Madoff, his firm’s compliance officer who is now serving a 10-year sentence for fraud. According to our sources, Peter Madoff, Sheldon Silver, and Rapfogel were all good friends through their association with the Bialystok Synagogue.

(WMR)—WMR has
learned from the executor of the estate of a woman defrauded by jailed
New York securities dealer Bernard Madoff that much of Madoff’s money
never disappeared as alleged by some but was invested in businesses in
Israel, transferred to offshore bank accounts, and pumped in small
amounts to the political campaigns of Democratic women candidates,
particularly U.S. Senate candidates, endorsed by the group EMILY’s List.
Madoff pleaded guilty to a long list of federal charges in 2009 and he was sentenced to 150 years in prison.
By providing Senate candidates with laundered cash, Madoff and his associates could ensure that legislation, such as the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, passed the Senate. Glass-Steagall provided strict controls over banks’ activities in the securities industry and established firewalls between banks and securities firms. Recipients of Madoff campaign cash were also assured that U.S. judges favorable to Madoff’s interests were appointed to the bench in the Second Circuit in New York, the court that has primary jurisdiction over Wall Street activities.
Madoff money also ended up in the coffers of Republican New York Senator Alfonse d’Amato, who helped steer prospective federal judges favorable to Madoff and his cronies on to federal benches in New York. D’Amato’s defeat by Democrat Chuck Schumer in 1998 was an even better opportunity for Madoff to influence the selection of federal judges and ensure the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Madoff and his associates also ensured that their friends were appointed as surrogate court judges. The judges appointed as guardian ad litem certain attorneys who would then direct the wealth of elderly incapacitated millionaires into Madoff’s investment schemes. Judges also made favorable rulings that saw intestate funds directed to Madoff-connected attorneys.
The coziness between Madoff and some federal judges was reported by WMR on January 12, 2009: “The U.S. District court for the Southern District of New York seems intent on keeping ex-NASDAQ chairman and $50 billion Ponzi scheme swindler Bernard Madoff confined to his Upper East Side Manhattan luxury home and not in a federal lock-up. Two judges in the New York federal circuit, Theodore Katz and Ronald Ellis, have ruled that Madoff should stay in his town house and out of prison.
Attorney General Michael Mukasey, whose son, Marc Mukasey of the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani, represents Frank DiPascali, one of the Madoff cronies. Michael Mukasey once served on the federal bench with Katz and Ellis in New York. Katz was appointed by George H. W. Bush while Ellis, an African American, was appointed by Clinton.”
WMR also reported that reported: “Madoff is suspected of transferring much of his ill-gotten gain to Israeli banks, including one, Bank Leumi, that Madoff associate J. Ezra Merkin bought from the Israeli government when Ariel Sharon was prime minister and current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was Finance Minister.”
