<p>The Fairfield Greenwich Group has agreed to pay an $8 million settlement to <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/brokerage/2009-09-08-madoff-feeder-fund_N.htm" target="_blank">a small group of investors in Massachusetts</a> that lost money through the Madoff scam. This is expected to be a full repayment. Fairfield is also going to pay a $500,000 fine to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As part of the deal, the feeder fund does not have to admit any wrongdoing. </p>
<p>According to a report in <em><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/brokerage/2009-09-08-madoff-feeder-fund_N.htm" target="_blank">USA Today</a></em>, this is the first Madoff case in which a regulator secured some relief for investors. While this only addresses a relative handful of investors, the Massachusetts Secretary of State believes that it may become a precedent for other actions.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/09/09/massachusetts-and-madoff-feeder-fund-come-to-agreement/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Massachusetts and Madoff feeder fund come to agreement</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/09/09/massachusetts-and-madoff-feeder-fund-come-to-agreement/">Massachusetts and Madoff feeder fund come to agreement</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:20:00 EST.
