"Sex, lies and Bernie Madoff: Jury to hear lurid details of affairs in fraudster’s offices as five employees go on trial"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...airs-fraudster-s-offices-employees-trial.html

"The roles played by imprisoned Bernie Madoff's long-time secretary and subordinate staff during his decades-long fraudulent deals and alleged office affairs will soon be revealed in court."

"Details yet to be revealed are of alleged sexual and romantic activities that seemed to permeate Madoff's offices when he was perceived as a high flying Wall Street guru - so smart that he could ensure double-digit returns to his investors even when the economy was flat or in decline."

"Pretrial maneuvers included an effort by prosecutors to exclude from evidence any mention of such affairs, but as yet, no decision has been made to block these details."

"Decades-old Wall Street Journal article on Bernie Madoff drew misleading portrait"

"In 1992, when the Wall Street Journal ran an article about Bernie Madoff and another firm being investigated by the feds, his greatest worry wasn't the recent probe."

"It was that his stipple portrait in the newspaper made his cheeks look chubby, a witness said Wednesday in the fraud trial of five former Madoff employees."

"There was a caricature picture of Bernie, like a cartoon picture of Bernie, in the article," testified Frank Dipascali, who worked with Madoff for decades. "His biggest concern was that the caricature didn't look like him. 'It makes my cheeks look too big,' he said. He didn't like the way he looked."

He has learned absolutely nothing while in prison and is still the same old arrogant, narcissist he always was.

"Six months and more than 40 witnesses later, the jury has the distinction of sitting on what is likely the longest white-collar criminal trial in the history of Manhattan federal court. The jury began its deliberations Monday afternoon.
"The only other white-collar prosecution in the Southern District of New York to rival the case’s length is the prosecution of Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John Rigas and his son Timothy in 2004, according a spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office….
"Data compiled by the federal court system show the vast majority of criminal cases in federal court last only a day. In 2012, the most recent data, 5,369 criminal trials were completed in one day,
while 843 were completed in two.
Nationwide, there were only 40 cases that lasted 20 days or longer in 2012."

ETA: Dealbreaker link article is pretty much snipped from WSJ link below.

More from WSJ article:
"Eight people have pleaded guilty in connection with the scandal at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, but the trial in federal court in Manhattan is the first time prosecutors have aired their evidence about the Ponzi scheme to a jury.
Jerome O’Hara and George Perez are accused of creating phony customer accounts, while Annette Bongiorno and another manager, JoAnn Crupi, allegedly concocted trading records. Prosecutors say Daniel Bonventre, a former operations director for Mr. Madoff, allegedly helped gin up phony books and records.

"All five of the defendants have pleaded not guilty and said Mr. Madoff duped them just like everyone else. They face decades in prison if convicted."
