Convicted Madoff aides face forfeiture rulings

The five former Bernard Madoff employees convicted of aiding their boss’ Ponzi scheme face one more verdict along with their expected prison terms — rulings on whether they and relatives must forfeit their largest remaining assets. Prosecutors and defense lawyers earlier this month agreed that U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain, not the jury that handed up convictions Monday, should decide the forfeiture issue. The judge, who presided over the more than five-month conspiracy trial, is expected to issue rulings by the time of the sentencings she set for the week of July 28. More on USA Today here.
