Carl Shapiro Asked to Return Money, Questioned About Madoff
November 30th, 2009 meg
A Bernard Madoff friend and early investor finds himself in the midst of a hard-fought legal battle to salvage what is left of his multimillion-dollar fortune.
Carl Shapiro, 96, who founded the Kay Windsor women’s apparel firm, is being accused by trustee Irving Picard that he benefited from fictitious profits.
Shapiro faces a potential “clawback” of some of those earnings, which may result in a lawsuit.
He is also reportedly the subject of the continuing federal criminal investigation stemming from Madoff’s estimated $21-billion Ponzi fraud.
