Sculpture Missing from Bernard Madoff’s NY Beach Home
MONTAUK, NY (AP).- Security has been tightened at Bernard Madoff’s former beach home after the theft of a sculpture off the front porch.
East Hampton Town Police Chief Todd Sarris says the 4-foot-tall sculpture, with an Aztec motif, is valued at around $300.
A caretaker reported the sculpture missing on Saturday. He said he’d last seen it two days earlier.
The oceanfront property is in Montauk (MAHN’-tawk), on the eastern end of Long Island. It’s list for sale at $8.75 million.
Madoff was sentenced in June to 150 years in prison for orchestrating a massive, decades-long Ponzi scheme.
I like that they use his full name. Bernard. Poor Bernard, he lost his sculpture.
