Reuters – The government’s star witness in the criminal trial of five former Bernard Madoffemployees is a lifelong liar whose “mind-boggling” history of falsehoods robs him of any credibility, a lawyer for one defendant told a federal jury on Thursday [March 6].
Larry Krantz, who represents computer programmer George Perez, said former Madoff lieutenant Frank DiPascali was a “con man’s con man” who made a career out of deceiving regulators, customers and auditors.
