MINEOLA, N.Y.
Peter Madoff was in the courtroom on Long Island to appeal a
judge's order last week freezing his assets. That order came in a
civil lawsuit filed by Andrew Ross Samuels, who claims Madoff took
$478,000 of his trust fund and invested it in his brother Bernard's
Ponzi scheme.
On Friday, the judge approved the agreement giving Peter Madoff
accesss to some money.
Peter Madoff was an executive at Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities. He has not been charged with any crime. Bernard Madoff
is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to charges that he
fleeced investors of billions of dollars.
