Madoff Feeder Funds – Unprecedented Recovery from Largest Investment Fraud in History

Represented two Madoff feeder funds that had collectively lost over $160 million of principal and several hundred million dollars of phantom profit in the wake of the largest investment fraud in history. Herrick represented the funds in dozens of lawsuits including numerous class actions, an action by the Madoff Trustee, and an action by the Department of Labor. Herrick partner Arthur Jakoby ultimately orchestrated two settlements that will result in each of the funds' over 500 investors eventually recovering 100 percent of their principal investment and what is estimated to be a more than 40 percent - possibly as high as 60 percent - profit on their Madoff investment - arguably the most favorable outcome in the world for any investor who invested with Madoff through an investment feeder fund. The firm's achievements on behalf of the funds were widely covered by the media, including a Forbes report entitled "Meet The Madoff Victims That Profited From Their Investment," which lauded Arthur's litigation strategy and the result.
