Wilpons caught in Madoff fraud

[metirish]

Wilpon's not broke.

] "The individual partners lost some money at Madoff. But it doesn't affect the Mets. It doesn't affect the Citi Field project. It doesn't affect (team-owned television network) SNY or any of our operating businesses. "How is that possible? We have other money. Just because you guys don't know how much money we have, we have other money and other funds outside of (the Mets). "It's called diversification."

Jeff mentioned how he and Madoff's son have been close friends for 30 years, that's got to hurt. I should say that he also mentioned that as much as this blows he feels for the people who" don't have the ability to restock their bank accounts."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeffy is the kind of millionaire other millionaires are ashamed of.

I'm sure these guys didn't look into how Madoff made his money because they didn't wanna know.

SMITH DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Friday, February 6th 2009, 3:02 AM Newly released documents make clear that New York Mets' money got caught in Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff's web of deceit. Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon had admitted that his family and business partners lost money to Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, but he's always insisted the team won't be hurt in any way. "It's truly two different things," Wilpon said. But documents reveal that 13 accounts with direct ties to the Mets show up on a list of Madoff client victims filed in Manhattan bankruptcy court. The Mets' accounts include one called Mets II LLC; six accounts for Sterling Mets Limited Partnership, listed as "care of" Mets Vice President Leonard Labita, and six accounts for Sterling Doubleday, the company that used to own the Mets. There's also an account for the Brooklyn Baseball Co. and one for Coney Island Baseball, business entities that own the Mets' Brooklyn minor-league baseball team. The Mets have repeatedly tried to distance themselves from investments their parent company, Sterling Equities, placed with Madoff. A big worry would be if Sterling had acted as a so-called "feeder fund," placing other people's investments with Madoff without telling them. Several such funds face multibillion-dollar lawsuits. Thursday, Sterling said it was never a feeder fund for Madoff. Instead, the company said, "Sterling's partners, as well as various friends and family members of those partners, are among the scores of unfortunate victims of the Madoff fraud." Records show many Wilpon family members and Sterling executives and their families placed money with Madoff. Sterling won't disclose how much money it put with Madoff over the years. But records show Sterling Equities alone appears to have more than 180 accounts. gsmith@nydailynews.com Edgy DC Feb 06 2009 11:39 AM Wow, Bobby F. Nystrom. Kyra Sedgwick is half Jewish.

Cleaning up my act starting with a new respect for Ms. Sedgewick, co-star of charming mediocrities like Singles and Phenomenon. Oh. I thought you were going to say something about the really bad Southern drawl she puts on in her starring role in her cable show, The Closer.
