Victims fume as Madoff son leaves $16 million estate

Andrew Madoff, the younger son of Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, died leaving a $16 million fortune, according to reports in New York City media. The extent of his wealth was unknown even to prosecutors until his will was filed Thursday in Manhattan Surrogate Court, according to the New York Post. The revelation has left some of his father’s victims angry. The younger Madoff, who died of lymphatic cancer earlier this month, was never charged and claimed he knew nothing of his father’s fraud, despite working closely with him. More in USA Today here.
