Accounting exec-lawyer arrested in Madoff fraud

Editor's note: What about the crooked lawyers participating in the fraud against the Estate of Alice R. Gore, a 99 year old disabled ward of the Probate Court of Cook County?   FEDs, this bunch of thugs were so very confident that the would never be held to account, that they didn't even bother to cover their tracks.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

(AP) -- A senior partner at a Manhattan accounting firm has been arrested on charges he participated in and helped direct false bookkeeping during financier Bernard Madoff's historic fraud.
Paul Konigsberg was held for an arraignment Thursday in federal court in Manhattan.
Mr. Konigsberg is a lawyer and was a senior tax partner at the accounting firm Konigsberg Wolf & Co. An indictment said he was the only person outside the Madoff family to hold an ownership interest in Madoff's private investment business.
The indictment said certain outsiders helped Mr. Madoff keep secret the fraud, which cheated thousands of investors out of nearly $20 billion. It says those outsiders were trusted to handle otherwise suspicious activity.
A message sent to Mr. Konigsberg's lawyer was not immediately returned.
The charges, which included a request by the government that Mr. Konigsberg be forced to forfeit all property traceable to the offenses, come just days before the start of a trial of five of Mr. Madoff's former employees. Those employees are charged with aiding him in a scheme to defraud his investors that stretched into the 1970s.
