MIAMI AP – Federal authorities seized disgraced financier Bernard Madoff’s vintage yacht and a smaller boat from two Florida marinas early Wednesday, part of an effort to recoup assets to pay back his swindled investors.
The 55-foot yacht named “Bull” and a 24-foot motor boat were taken from marinas on Florida’s east coast, said Barry Golden, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service. The yacht, a 1969 Rybovich, is worth $2.2 million.
