Talk:Jeffry Picower

Premortum Thread

Brian Ross of ABC News claims that Picower made 30 times what Madoff made on the Ponzi scheme. (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/jeffry-picower-madoff-billionaire-found-dead-palm-beach-pool/story?id=8912743) That $7B is now gone, salted away in a foreign bank and it ain't never coming back. This is way too convenient. Some enterprising reporter should try to follow the money.

this whole article is incredibly biased against this person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.197.229 (talk) 08:04, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

More information is now coming in from the court cases. It doesn't look good for Picower. --John Nagle (talk) 20:59, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

New court filings from the Madoff Trustee: "Picower was “the biggest beneficiary of Madoff’s scheme, having withdrawn either directly or through the entities he controlled more than $7.2 billion of other investors’ money,”"[1]. --John Nagle (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Updated Citation

Full Disclosure: I work at Rubenstein, and the Picower Foundation is a former client. I replaced the Palm Beach Post citation from the article because it listed Mr. Picower's plot location. It is unnecessary to publicize private information on a venue such as Wikipedia. I replaced it with a similar article that states his resting place while preserving the integrity of the entry. The entry itself has not been changed. If you have any concerns with this edit, please leave a note on my talk page.//Brycetom (talk) 20:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Since it has been published in a newspaper article that is also available online, how can it be private? And how is it being publicized (I had already deleted the location from this article)? That being said, it's a minor point as far as I'm concerned (in this instance). Clarityfiend (talk) 00:15, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Someone is worried about angry Madoff investors descending on Picower's grave? They're more likely to be in court, going after his heirs and charities.[2] --John Nagle (talk) 17:22, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

2009 Forbes ranking

Various sources have reported that Picower was ranked 371st, with a net worth of $1 billion. The only problem is, I can't find him on the list, there is no 371st place per se, and it would take $2 billion to tie for 334th-375th place. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Never mind. I was looking at the top 400 worldwide. He is in the top 400 Americans. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Jeffry?

I think its Jeffrey.Mwinog2777 (talk) 00:25, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

If it is, then all the news articles are wrong. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:57, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Picower

Picower's charities had a habit of turning into commercial concerns.
