Lautenberg charity, other Madoff investors try to revive claims

NEW YORK, Jan 25 (Reuters) – A federal appeals court signaled that victims of Bernard Madoff’s fraud more than four years ago might be allowed to eventually sue the swindler’s family members over their losses, if they’re willing to wait longer. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York weighed whether investors, including a charitable foundation for Senator Frank Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, and the town of Fairfield, Connecticut, could pursue claims against Madoff’s brother Peter, his son Andrew, and the estate of his late son, Mark. Irving Picard, the trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, has largely been successful in stopping lawsuits that he believes overlap his own and impair his ability to recover money for victims of the Ponzi scheme.
