Bloomberg – Ruth Madoff’s account at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK) received “fraudulent” transfers of at least $14 million, said the trustee liquidating her husband Bernard Madoff’s firm, who wants to “recapture” $44.8 million.
Irving Picard, the trustee, said last week that he had asked the bank for the couple’s monthly bank statements, canceled checks and other records from January 2002 through December 2008. Bank of New York had no objection to providing them, he said in the March 10 filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
