Quotes
"Just so you understand what my connection to it was, I never heard of this guy Madoff, I've never met him, I've never done business with him. I have a charitable trust, and this charitable trust has a lot of money and it's invested by a number of fund managers. One of those fund managers put some of the charitable trust monies into Madoff's funds and that money was, it was about 10% of the value of the charitable trust and that money which otherwise would have been given away is now lost."—Mort ZuckermanCNBC: Zuckerman's Charitable Trust Loses $30 Million (December 15, 2008)
