She knew what to do when they told her 'flaps down, increase the throttle, increase the trim.' She was doing it well. ... |
| Divorced attorney can't recoup Madoff fraud losses Posted: (Reuters) - New York's top court has thrown out a Manhattan lawyer's bid to undo his divorce settlement and force his former wife to share in losses tied to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. Steven Simkin, a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, was saddled with losses when a $5.4 million retirement account he retained as part of a 2006 divorce settlement tanked because of the Madoff fraud. Simkin claimed that the inclusion of the account in the settlement was the result of a "mutual mistake" that rendered the pact void. A unanimous Court of Appeals on Tuesday disagreed. ... |
