Last week, in writing about the settlement between Irving Picard, the Madoff trustee, and Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, the owners of the New York Mets, I mentioned the ongoing litigation brought against the trustee by a lawyer named Helen Davis Chaitman, who claims to represent some 800 Madoff victims, both net losers and net winners (who, I should point out, have very divergent interests). Inevitably, I received some emails from Chaitman clients who chastised me for daring to criticize, as one of them put it, “a woman who has been a champion to so many elderly victims, logging many pro bono hours, fighting for victims whose gains would mean her own loss, and giving those victims a voice in the courts.” Et cetera.
