Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy partner Philip Bentley was quoted in a December 28, 2010 Reuters article about the increasingly likely prospect that Madoff's victims will be reimbursed for a majority, and possibly all, of their losses as a result of the litigation recoveries obtained by the Madoff trustee from allegedly culpable parties. In light of this prospect, Bentley observed, the trustee should consider suspending his efforts to collect from the more than one thousand innocent investors whom he recently sued: "We would hope that Mr. Picard would focus his efforts on the parties he alleges were culpable, and put on hold suits against the thousand innocent investors he's suing to recover profits." Bentley represents a sizeable group of "net winner" investors who have been sued by the Madoff trustee.
