As if Melvyn Weiss and David Bershad didn’t have enough troubles these days, documents released Wednesday reveal that the two convicted Milberg Weiss partners were customers of Bernard Madoff.
Weiss and Bershad’s names appear on a 162-page list of customers of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (pdf). Patricia Hynes, another former name partner of Milberg Weiss who now practices at Allen & Overy, also appears on the list as a customer of Madoff, who allegedly ran a $50 billion Ponzi scheme since the 1970s.
