“All my life savings, it all went into Madoff and it is all gone.”
“Madoff Judge Endorses Trustee’s Rule on Losses,” from the New York Times:
The ruling is a setback for investors like Adele Fox of Tamarac, Fla., an 87-year-old retired school secretary who was widowed in 1986. Mrs. Fox withdrew more than her original capital for living expenses, but still had nearly $3 million on her account statement when the fraud was discovered.
Under Judge Lifland’s ruling, she is not eligible for cash from the Securities Investors Protection Corporation, the industry-financed organization that provides limited protection for customers of failed Wall Street firms.
“My health has been a mess,” Mrs. Fox said on Monday. “I can manage, more or less, but if I have to go into a facility, what would I do? All my life savings, it all went into Madoff and it is all gone.”
