Mets-Madoff Lawsuit Tentatively Settled

November 3, 2011
Lawyers say they’ve reached a tentative settlement of a lawsuit blaming the New York Mets’ owners for losing more than $16mn in 401(k) assets by investing with failed financier Bernard Madoff. The lawsuit said 92% of the retirement fund’s assets were invested with Madoff. It did not say how many people were affected. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. It would resolve a 2010 lawsuit against Sterling Equities Associates and Fred Wilpon, the Mets’ chief executive officer and principle owner. The lawsuit said the defendants should have known about Madoff’s massive fraud. It was filed by one person, but her lawyers had sought class action status. [AP, 11/2/11]
