Madoff Made Off With Malkovich Money?

As media outlets continue to sift through the list of Bernard Madoff's victims, additional names emerge, like that of actor John Malkovich alongside regular folks. One, 82-year-old widow Bianca Murray, received call from someone who saw her name on the now-public list—the stranger suggested she get a lawyer. The Post called another victim, who said, "I thought it was confidential. I had no idea my name would be out there." But some victims' names aren't on the list—because their bank invested their money in Madoff's funds without their knowledge. According to the NY Times, since the Westport National Bank's Madoff account was in the bank's name, its customers whose money was sunk into the Ponzi scheme "may not qualify for the federal securities insurance program that is expected to cushion investors’ losses."

The bigger question is why is he on house arrest? He must have connections up the ying yang, plus no one in the SEC touched him over the last 10 years.

Why?

Politburo

Why is he on house arrest as opposed to what?

"82-year-old widow Bianca Murray, received call from someone who saw her name on the now-public list—the stranger suggested she get a phone call."

Conveniently enough, that need had already been filled since the stranger had just called her.

The stranger then went on to further suggest that she get a lawyer.
