Madoff Trustee Wins Approval to Auction Remaining Mets Tickets
By Christopher Scinta
April 14 (Bloomberg) -- The trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC won court approval to auction off New York Mets season tickets held by the defunct money- management firm in an online auction.
Irving Picard has already begun selling the tickets for April Mets games in an online auction and the two tickets for yesterday’s first home game sold for $7,500 on EBay Inc.’s auction site.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Burton Lifland in New York said today he would sign an order allowing the sale of the remaining season tickets.
Picard said the tickets for the baseball team’s new $800 million stadium have a face value of about $60,750.
Bernard Madoff pleaded guilty March 12 to defrauding investors by using money from new ones to pay off old ones in a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. Picard, a lawyer with
Baker & Hostetler LLP in New York, has said he has recovered about $1 billion for Madoff investors.
The case is Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, 08-01789, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
