COMPLAINT
Irving H. Picard (the “Trustee”), as trustee for the liquidation of the business of Bernard
L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“BLMIS”) under the Securities Investor Protection Act,
15 U.S.C. §§ 78aaa, et seq. (“SIPA”),1 and the substantively consolidated estate of Bernard L.
Madoff individually (“Madoff”), by and through his undersigned counsel, for his complaint (the
“Complaint”), states as follows:
NATURE OF PROCEEDING
1. This adversary proceeding arises from the massive Ponzi scheme perpetrated by
Madoff. Over the course of the scheme, there were more than 8,000 client accounts at BLMIS.
In early December 2008, BLMIS generated client account statements for its approximately 4,900
open client accounts. When added together, these statements purport that clients of BLMIS had
approximately $65 billion invested with BLMIS. In reality, BLMIS had assets on hand worth a
small fraction of that amount. On March 12, 2009, Madoff admitted to the fraudulent scheme
and pled guilty to 11 felony counts, and was sentenced on June 29, 2009 to 150 years in prison.
2. Defendant NTC & Co. LLP, as former custodian of the Individual Retirement
Account for the benefit of Bonnie J. Kansler (“Defendant NTC”) is either an initial transferee of
the avoidable NTC Transfers (as defined below) or a conduit of such transfers for the benefit of
defendant Bonnie J. Kansler (“FBO Defendant”). If Defendant NTC is the initial transferee, then
FBO Defendant is the subsequent transferee of the NTC Transfers for purposes of this
Complaint. To the extent Defendant NTC served as a conduit for the funds withdrawn for the
benefit of FBO Defendant, FBO Defendant is an initial transferee of the NTC Transfers for
whose benefit such NTC Transfers were made for purposes of this Complaint. Defendant NTC
and/or FBO Defendant received avoidable transfers from BLMIS. In addition, defendant Bonnie

Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 3 of 40
300098101 -3-
J. Kansler (“Defendant Kansler”) received avoidable Kansler Transfers (as defined below) from
BLMIS. Defendant NTC, FBO Defendant and Defendant Kansler are collectively referred to
below as “Defendants.”
3. Defendants were the beneficiaries of this Ponzi scheme. Since December 11,
2002, Defendant NTC and/or FBO Defendant received the amount of $1,250,050 from BLMIS,
and Defendant Kansler received the amount of $270,597 from BLMIS, for an aggregate total of
$1,520,647. The Trustee’s investigation has revealed that $279,803 of the amount received by
Defendant NTC and/or FBO Defendant, and all of the amount ($270,597) received by Defendant
Kansler represented fictitious profits from the Ponzi scheme, in that Defendants withdrew more
than was invested in the subject BLMIS accounts. Accordingly, Defendants have received an
aggregate $550,400 of other people’s money. This action is brought to recover the fictitious
profit amount so that this customer property can be equitably distributed among all of the victims
of BLMIS.
4. This adversary proceeding is brought pursuant to sections 78fff(b), 78fff-1(a) and
78fff-2(c)(3) of SIPA, sections 105(a), 544, 548(a), 550(a) and 551 of title 11 of the United
States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), the New York Fraudulent Conveyance Act (New York
Debtor and Creditor Law § 270 et seq. (McKinney 2001) (“DCL”)) and other applicable law, for
avoidance of fraudulent conveyances in connection with certain transfers of property by BLMIS
to or for the benefit of Defendants. The Trustee seeks to set aside such transfers and preserve
and recover the property for the benefit of BLMIS’ defrauded customers.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
5. This is an adversary proceeding commenced before the same Court before whom
the main underlying SIPA proceeding, No. 08-01789 (BRL) (the “SIPA Proceeding”), is
pending. The SIPA Proceeding was originally brought in the United States District Court for the
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 4 of 40
300098101 -4-
Southern District of New York as Securities Exchange Commission v. Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC et al., No. 08 CV 10791 (the “District Court Proceeding”) and has
been referred to this Court. This Court has jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding under 28
U.S.C. § 1334(b) and 15 U.S.C. §§ 78eee(b)(2)(A), (b)(4).
6. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (H) and (O).
7. Venue in this district is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1409.
DEFENDANTS
8. Defendant NTC is a limited liability partnership that was formed under the laws
of the state of Colorado. Its principal place of business is located in Denver, Colorado.
9. Upon information and belief, FBO Defendant and Defendant Kansler maintains
her residence in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. Defendant Kansler holds one BLMIS account
in the name, “Bonnie J. Kansler” (the “Kansler Account”), with an account address in Cold
Spring Harbor, New York. FBO Defendant holds a second BLMIS account in the name “NTC &
Co. FBO Bonnie Kansler (xxxxx) SP BEN” (the “NTC Account,” and together with the Kansler
Account, the “Accounts”), with the account address in Denver, Colorado.
BACKGROUND, THE TRUSTEE AND STANDING
10. On December 11, 2008 (the “Filing Date”)2, Madoff was arrested by federal
agents for violation of the criminal securities laws, including, inter alia, securities fraud,
investment adviser fraud, and mail and wire fraud. Contemporaneously, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a complaint in the District Court which commenced the
District Court Proceeding against Madoff and BLMIS. The District Court Proceeding remains
2 Section 78lll(7)(B) of SIPA states that the filing date is “the date on which an application for a protective decree is filed under 78eee(a)(3),” except where the debtor is the subject of a proceeding pending before a United States court “in which a receiver, trustee, or liquidator for such debtor has been appointed and such proceeding was commenced before the date on which such application was filed, the term ‘filing date’ means the date on which such proceeding was commenced.” 15 U.S.C. § 78lll(7)(B). Thus, even though the application for a protective decree was filed on December 15, 2008, the Filing Date in this action is December 11, 2008.
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 5 of 40
300098101 -5-
pending in the District Court. The SEC complaint alleged that Madoff and BLMIS engaged in
fraud through the investment advisor activities of BLMIS.
11. On December 12, 2008, The Honorable Louis L. Stanton of the District Court
entered an order appointing Lee S. Richards, Esq. (the “Receiver”) as receiver for the assets of
BLMIS.
12. On December 15, 2008, pursuant to section 78eee(a)(4)(A) of SIPA, the SEC
consented to a combination of its own action with an application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Thereafter, pursuant to section 78eee(a)(4)(B) of SIPA, SIPC
filed an application in the District Court alleging, inter alia, that BLMIS was not able to meet its
obligations to securities customers as they came due and, accordingly, its customers needed the
protections afforded by SIPA.
13. Also on December 15, 2008, Judge Stanton granted the SIPC application and
entered an order pursuant to SIPA (the “Protective Decree”), which, in pertinent part:
a. appointed the Trustee for the liquidation of the business of BLMIS
pursuant to section 78eee(b)(3) of SIPA;
b. appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as counsel to the Trustee pursuant to
section 78eee(b)(3) of SIPA; and
c. removed the case to this Court pursuant to section 78eee(b)(4) of SIPA.
By this Protective Decree, the Receiver was removed as Receiver for BLMIS.
14. By orders dated December 23, 2008 and February 4, 2009, respectively, the
Bankruptcy Court approved the Trustee’s bond and found that the Trustee was a disinterested
person. Accordingly, the Trustee is duly qualified to serve and act on behalf of the estate of
BLMIS.

300098101 -6-
15. At a Plea Hearing on March 12, 2009 in the case captioned United States v.
Madoff, Case No. 09-CR-213(DC), Madoff pled guilty to an eleven-count criminal information
filed against him by the United States Attorneys’ Office for the Southern District of New York.
At the Plea Hearing, Madoff admitted that he “operated a Ponzi scheme through the investment
advisory side of [BLMIS].” Plea Allocution of Bernard L. Madoff at 23, United States v.
Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (DC) (S.D.N.Y. March 12, 2009) (Docket No. 50). Additionally,
Madoff asserted “[a]s I engaged in my fraud, I knew what I was doing [was] wrong, indeed
criminal.” Id. Madoff was sentenced on June 29, 2009 to 150 years in prison.
16. On August 11, 2009, a former BLMIS employee, Frank DiPascali, pled guilty to
participating in and conspiring to perpetuate the Ponzi scheme. At a Plea Hearing on August 11,
2009 in the case entitled United States v. DiPascali, Case No. 09-CR-764 (RJS), DiPascali pled
guilty to a ten-count criminal information. Among other things, DiPascali admitted that the
fictitious scheme had begun at BLMIS since at least the 1980s. Plea Allocution of Frank
DiPascali at 46, United States v. DiPascali, No. 09-CR-764 (RJS) (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 11, 2009)
(Docket No. 11).
17. As the Trustee appointed under SIPA, the Trustee is charged with recovering and
paying out customer property to BLMIS’ customers, assessing claims, and liquidating any other
assets of the firm for the benefit of the estate and its creditors. The Trustee is in the process of
marshalling BLMIS’ assets, and the liquidation of BLMIS’ assets is well underway. However,
such assets will not be sufficient to reimburse the customers of BLMIS for the billions of dollars
that they invested with BLMIS over the years. Consequently, the Trustee must use his authority
under SIPA and the Bankruptcy Code to pursue recovery from customers who received
preferences and/or payouts of fictitious profits to the detriment of other defrauded customers
whose money was consumed by the Ponzi scheme. Absent this or other recovery actions, the
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 7 of 40
300098101 -7-
Trustee will be unable to satisfy the claims described in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of SIPA
section 78fff-2(c)(1).
18. Pursuant to section 78fff-1(a), the Trustee has the general powers of a bankruptcy
trustee in a case under the Bankruptcy Code in addition to the powers granted by SIPA pursuant
to SIPA section 78fff(b). Chapters 1, 3, 5 and subchapters I and II of chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code apply to this proceeding to the extent consistent with SIPA.
19. Pursuant to sections 78fff(b) and 78lll(7)(B) of SIPA, the Filing Date is deemed to
be the date of the filing of the petition within the meaning of section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code
and the date of the commencement of the case within the meaning of section 544 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
20. The Trustee has standing to bring these claims pursuant to section 78fff-1(a) of
SIPA and the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 323(b) and 704(a)(1), because, among other
reasons:
a. Defendants received “Customer Property” as defined in 15 U.S.C.
§78lll(4);
b. BLMIS incurred losses as a result of the claims set forth herein;
c. BLMIS’ customers were injured as a result of the conduct detailed herein;
d. SIPC has not reimbursed, and statutorily cannot fully reimburse, all
customers for all of their losses;
e. the Trustee will not be able to fully satisfy all claims;
f. the Trustee, as bailee of customer property, can sue on behalf of the
customer bailors;
g. the Trustee is the assignee of claims paid, and to be paid, to customers of
BLMIS who have filed claims in the liquidation proceeding (such claim-filing customers are
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 8 of 40
300098101 -8-
collectively referred to as “Accountholders”). As of the date hereof, the Trustee has received
multiple express unconditional assignments of the applicable Accountholders’ causes of action,
which actions could have been asserted against Defendants. As assignee, the Trustee stands in
the shoes of persons who have suffered injury in fact and a distinct and palpable loss for which
the Trustee is entitled to reimbursement in the form of monetary damages. The Trustee brings
this action on behalf of, among others, those defrauded customers of BLMIS who invested more
money in BLMIS than they withdrew; and
h. SIPC is the subrogee of claims paid, and to be paid, to customers of
BLMIS who have filed claims in the liquidation proceeding. SIPC has expressly conferred upon
the Trustee enforcement of its rights of subrogation with respect to payments it has made and is
making to customers of BLMIS from SIPC funds.
THE FRAUDULENT PONZI SCHEME
21. Founded in 1959, BLMIS began operations as a sole proprietorship of Madoff and
later, effective January 2001, formed as a New York limited liability company wholly owned by
Madoff. Since in or about 1986, BLMIS operated from its principal place of business at 885
Third Avenue, New York, New York. Madoff, as founder, proprietor, chairman, and chief
executive officer, ran BLMIS together with several family members and a number of additional
employees. BLMIS was registered with the SEC as a securities broker-dealer under section
15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78o(b). By that registration, BLMIS
is a member of SIPC. BLMIS had three business units: investment advisory (the “IA Business”),
market making and proprietary trading.
22. For certain accounts in the IA Business, BLMIS purported to participate in a
capital appreciation/depreciation strategy, depending on whether the customer sought to generate
gains or losses. For example, the strategy was executed by either purporting to purchase small
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 9 of 40
300098101 -9-
groups of securities near lows and then purporting to sell those same securities at highs, or by
purporting to short-sell securities near highs and then purporting to repurchase those securities
near lows.
23. For other accounts, Madoff described the IA Business’ strategy as a “split-strike
conversion” strategy. Madoff promised these clients that their funds would be invested in a
basket of common stocks within the S&P 100 Index, which is a collection of the 100 largest U.S.
publicly traded companies. The basket of stocks would be intended to mimic the movement of
the S&P 100 Index. Madoff asserted that he would carefully time purchases and sales to
maximize value, but this meant that the clients’ funds would intermittently be out of the market,
at which times they would purportedly be invested in U.S. issued securities and money market
funds. The second part of the split-strike conversion strategy was the hedge of such purchases
with option contracts. Madoff purported to purchase and sell S&P 100 Index option contracts
that closely corresponded with the stocks in the basket, thereby controlling the downside risk of
price changes in the basket of stocks.
24. Although clients of the IA Business received monthly or quarterly statements
purportedly showing the securities that were held in – or had been traded through – their
accounts, as well as the growth of and profit from those accounts over time, the trades reported
on these statements were a complete fabrication. The security purchases and sales depicted in
the account statements virtually never occurred and the profits reported were entirely fictitious.
At his Plea Hearing, Madoff admitted that he never in fact purchased any of the securities he
claimed to have purchased for customer accounts. See Plea Allocution of Bernard L. Madoff at
3, United States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (DC) (S.D.N.Y. March 12, 2009) (Docket No. 50).
Indeed, based on the Trustee’s investigation to date and with the exception of isolated individual
trades for certain clients other than Defendants, there is no record of BLMIS having cleared any
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 10 of 40
300098101 -10-
purchase or sale of securities on behalf of the IA Business at the Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation, the clearing house for such transactions.
25. Prior to his arrest, Madoff assured clients and regulators that he conducted all
trades on the over-the-counter market after hours. To bolster that lie, Madoff periodically wired
tens of millions of dollars to BLMIS’ affiliate, Madoff Securities International Ltd. (“MSIL”), a
London based entity substantially owned by Madoff and his family. There are no records that
MSIL ever used the wired funds to purchase securities for the accounts of the IA Business
clients.
26. Additionally, based on the Trustee’s investigation to date, there is no evidence
that BLMIS ever purchased or sold any of the options that Madoff claimed on customer
statements to have purchased and sold.
27. For all periods relevant hereto, the IA Business was operated as a Ponzi scheme
and Madoff and his co-conspirators concealed the ongoing fraud in an effort to hinder, delay or
defraud other current and prospective customers of BLMIS. The money received from investors
was not set aside to buy securities as purported, but instead was primarily used to make the
distributions to – or payments on behalf of – other investors. The money sent to BLMIS for
investment, in short, was simply used to keep the scheme going and to enrich Madoff, his
associates and others, including Defendants, until such time as the requests for redemptions in
December 2008 overwhelmed the flow of new investments and caused the inevitable collapse of
the Ponzi scheme.
28. The payments to investors constituted an intentional misrepresentation of fact
regarding the underlying accounts and were in integral and essential part of the fraud. The
payments were necessary to validate the false account statements, and were made to avoid
detection of the fraud, to retain existing investors and to lure other investors into the Ponzi
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 11 of 40
300098101 -11-
scheme.
29. During the scheme, certain investors requested and received distributions of the
so-called “profits” listed for their accounts which were nothing more than fictitious profits.
Other investors, from time to time, redeemed or closed their accounts, or removed portions of
purportedly available funds, and were paid consistently with the statements they had been
receiving. Some of those investors later re-invested part or all of those withdrawn payments with
BLMIS.
30. When payments were made to or on behalf of these investors, including
Defendants, the falsified monthly statements of accounts reported that the accounts of such
investors included substantial gains. In reality, BLMIS had not invested the investors’ principal
as reflected in customer statements. In an attempt to conceal the ongoing fraud and thereby
hinder, delay or defraud other current and prospective investors, BLMIS paid to or on behalf of
certain investors the inflated amounts reflected in the falsified financial statements, including
principal and/or fictitious profits.
31. BLMIS used the funds deposited from new investments to continue operations
and pay redemption proceeds to or on behalf of other investors and to make other transfers. Due
to the siphoning and diversion of new investments to fund redemptions requested by other
investors, BLMIS did not have the funds to pay investors on account of their new investments.
BLMIS was able to stay afloat only by using the principal invested by some clients to pay other
investors or their designees.
32. In an effort to hinder, delay or defraud authorities from detecting the fraud,
BLMIS did not register as an Investment Advisor until September 2006.
33. In or about January 2008, BLMIS filed with the SEC a Uniform Application for
Investment Adviser Registration. The application represented, inter alia, that BLMIS had 23
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 12 of 40
300098101 -12-
customer accounts and assets under management of approximately $17.1 billion. In fact, in
January 2008, BLMIS had approximately 4,900 active client accounts with a purported value of
approximately $65 billion under management.
34. Not only did Madoff seek to evade regulators, Madoff also had false audit reports
“prepared” by Friehling & Horowitz, a three-person accounting firm in Rockland County, New
York. Of the two accountants at the firm, one was semi-retired and living in Florida for many
years prior to the Filing Date.
35. At all times relevant hereto, the liabilities of BLMIS were billions of dollars
greater than the assets of BLMIS. At all relevant times, BLMIS was insolvent in that (i) its
assets were worth less than the value of its liabilities; (ii) it could not meet its obligations as they
came due; and (iii) at the time of the transfers, BLMIS was left with insufficient capital.
THE TRANSFERS
36. According to BLMIS’ records, the Accounts (Nos. 1ZA991 and 1ZR170) were
maintained with BLMIS, as set forth on Exhibit A. Upon information and belief, for the
Accounts, Customer Agreements, Option Agreements, and/or Trading Authorizations Limited to
Purchases and Sales of Securities and Options (collectively, the “Account Agreements”) were
executed and delivered to BLMIS at BLMIS’ headquarters at 885 Third Avenue, New York,
New York. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant NTC was the custodian of FBO Defendant’s
NTC Account.
37. The Account Agreements were to be performed in New York, New York through
securities trading activities that would take place in New York, New York. The Accounts were
held in New York, New York, and Defendants sent funds to BLMIS and/or to BLMIS’ account
at JPMorgan Chase & Co., Account #xxxxxxxxxxx1703 (the “BLMIS Bank Account”) in New
York, New York for application to the Accounts and the purported conducting of trading
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 13 of 40
300098101 -13-
activities. Between the date the Accounts were opened and the Filing Date, Defendants made
deposits to BLMIS through checks and/or wire transfers into the BLMIS Bank Account and/or
received inter-account transfers from other BLMIS accounts.
38. During the six years prior to the Filing Date, BLMIS made transfers to Defendant
Kansler totaling $270,597 (“Kansler Transfers”) and to Defendant NTC and/or FBO Defendant
totaling $279,803 (“NTC Transfers”), for an aggregate total of $550,400 (collectively, the
“Transfers”) in fictitious profits from the Ponzi scheme. The Transfers received by Defendants
constitute non-existent profits supposedly earned in the Accounts, but, in reality, they were other
people’s money. The Transfers were made to or for the benefit of Defendants and are set forth in
Columns 10 and 11 on Exhibit B annexed hereto.
39. The Transfers that are avoidable and recoverable under sections 544(b), 550(a)(1)
and 551 of the Bankruptcy Code, applicable provisions of SIPA, particularly SIPA section 78fff-
2(c)(3), and applicable provisions of N.Y. CPLR 203(g) (McKinney 2001) and DCL sections
273 – 279 (McKinney 2001) total $270,597 (the “Kansler Six Year Transfers”) and $279,803
(the “NTC Six Year Transfers”) for an aggregate total of $550,400 and are referred to
collectively hereafter as the “Six Year Transfers.” See Exhibit B, Column 11. The Transfers
that are avoidable and recoverable under sections 548(a), 550(a)(1) and 551 of the Bankruptcy
Code and applicable provisions of SIPA, particularly SIPA section 78fff-2(c)(3) total $93,546
(the “Kansler Two Year Transfers”) and $279,803 (the “NTC Two Year Transfers”) for an
aggregate total of $373,349 and are referred to collectively hereafter as the “Two Year
Transfers.” See Exhibit B, Column 10.
40. Upon information and belief, all of the NTC Transfers were subsequently
transferred by Defendant NTC to FBO Defendant (the “Subsequent Transfers”).
Case 1:11-cv-08533-JSR Document 16-1 Filed 03/06/12 Page 14 of 40
300098101 -14-
41. The Subsequent Transfers, or the value thereof, are recoverable from FBO
Defendant pursuant to §550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
42. The Trustee’s investigation is ongoing and the Trustee reserves the right to
(i) supplement the information regarding the Transfers, Subsequent Transfers and any additional
transfers and (ii) seek recovery of such additional transfers.
43. To the extent that any of the avoidance and/or recovery counts may be
