NEW YORK (AP) -- Disgraced financier Bernard Madoff has been ordered to forfeit over $170 billion, prosecutors said Friday.

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin entered a preliminary order of forfeiture Friday, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Lev Dassin. The order forces Madoff to give up his interests in all property, including real estate, investments, cars and boats.

According to earlier court documents, prosecutors reserved the right to pursue more than $170 billion in criminal forfeiture. That represents the total amount of money that could be connected to the fraud, not the amount stolen or lost.

The government also settled claims against Madoff's wife, according to Friday's order. Under the arrangement, the government obtained Ruth Madoff's interest in all property, including more than $80 million of property to which she had claimed was hers, prosecutors said.

The order makes it clear, though, that nothing precludes other departments or entities from seeking to recover additional funds

The agreements strip the Madoffs of all their interest in properties belonging to them, including a homes in Manhattan, Montauk, and Palm Beach, Fla., worth a total of nearly $22 million.

Federal prosecutors want Madoff to be sentenced to 150 years in prison. He is due in court on Monday for sentencing in his massive fraud case.

大意就是说法官下令司法部门有权向梅道夫没收1700亿.这1700亿是可能和他的犯罪活动有关的资金总额,而不是他骗取的资金,或个人财产的数目.

这老小子行骗四十多年,经手的钱一定是个天文数字.但这并不等于经手的钱全部进自己腰包.要不他怎能再骗.

老小子骗了四十多年,当过NASDAQ的主席.谁知道接着查下去,会不会有更大的事.检察官和法官也就是给个大数,省得数写小了以后再改麻烦.

老梅这件事也就是一超级大丑闻,对美国的金融政策没什么影响.真正有深远影响的是高胜(Goldman Sachs)的人对美国政府高层的全面渗透和操纵.
