Larry King and John Malkovich were among the thousands of names listed as clients who invested with Bernard Madoff.
The list was made public Wednesday in a court filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. It supplied a handful of bold-faced names that further evidenced the reach into the entertainment world of Madoff's alleged Ponzi scheme.
Larry King's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, said the CNN host suffered "not substantial losses." Rubenstein declined to answer further questions on King's investments with Madoff. Managers for Malkovich, whose films include "Dangerous Liaisons" and "In the Line of Fire," didn't return messages left Thursday. Prosecutors say Madoff admits he lost more than $50 billion belonging to investors. Defense lawyers say he has cooperated with authorities to help identify assets. The list — compiled by AlixPartners LLP, a Dallas company hired as claims agent by the trustee overseeing the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC — wasn't necessarily comprehensive since some may have invested through an intermediary investment firm. |
