Madoff Trustee v. Cohmad Proceeds

August 3, 2011

Federal Bankruptcy Judge Burton Lifland ruled against Cohmad Securities', which sought to have a $245mn lawsuit dismissed.  The judge allowed the case to proceed, ruling that Madoff trustee Irvin Picard made valid claims.  Cohmad had been an investor with Bernie Madoff's fund, and Picard seeks to recover profits Cohmad made from the deal.  This is one of dozens of cases filed by Picard against Madoff's investors that are allegedly illegitimate because of the illegality of the fund.  [Reuters, 8/1/11]
