Madoff victims mostly paid back

NEW YORK — The Justice Department announced last week a $488 million payout to victims of Bernie Madoff’s historic Ponzi scheme, bringing the total recovery from losses to 80%. The money will go to nearly 37,000 victims worldwide and is the sixth payment from the feds. The total recovery is nearly $3.2 billion. “That is an extraordinary level of recovery for a Ponzi scheme — but our work is not yet finished, and the office’s tireless commitment to compensating the victims who suffered as a result of Madoff’s heinous crimes continues,” acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said. Madoff was sentenced in 2009 to 150 years in prison for his historic fraud. In June a judge denied Madoff’s request for compassionate release because he is dying.
