The Madoff List

Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax. Actor Kevin Bacon. World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein. All three have at least one thing in common: Their names appear on a list of several thousand clients who lost money investing with Bernard Madoff. The list has been made public in a court filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
The list contains about 13,000 names, including at least six Madoffs and even Bernie Madoff’s own attorney.
Authorities say Madoff admits he lost more than $50 billion belonging to investors. Defense lawyers say he has cooperated with authorities to help identify assets.

THE PUNCHLINE

“Freezing cold today. … So cold, Bernie Madoff had his hands in his own pockets.”
— David Letterman

Six Degrees of a Ponzi Scheme

Along with Hollywood boldfacers Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, Kevin Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, lost money in Bernie Madoff’s devastating $50 billion Ponzi scheme, and a representative for Kevin Bacon confirmed it to New York Magazine saying, “Unfortunately, your report is true.”
He wouldn’t elaborate on whether they’d lost everything except for their checking accounts and the land they own. “I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff — no further specifics or comment beyond that,” he said, adding: “Please, let’s not speculate or rely on hearsay.”
