This item and similar Madoff Family items we have listed, were purchased at the Official Madoff Auction held by Gaston & Sheehan in Galveston Texas. They were appointed by the US Marshalls office to dispose of Peter & Marion Madoff's personal property which was seized to compensate the victims of Bernie's Ponzi Scheme. Peter, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Peter Madoff was the chief compliance officer at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. He had admitted to falsifying documents, lying to securities regulators and filing sham tax returns.  


Bernard and Peter  Madoff, Bernie died in 2021 and Peter was given a 10-year sentence at a South Carolina prison on fraud charges for his role in his brother's billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. Peter served as compliance officer at the firm. As part of the agreement Bernie & Peter Madoff agreed to forfeit all of their assets and  were originally purchased from the various Federal Govt & US Marshals Auctions held in the subsequent years following the discovery of the Fraud. The proceeds of these sales went to benefit the victims of the Madoff Scandal.

We have been able to acquire a number of mixed lots from these auctions, and offer them for sale here individually.

Peter B. Madoff
Peter B. Madoff, chief compliance officer, worked with his brother Bernie for more than 40 years, and ran the daily operations for the past 20 years. Peter Madoff helped create the computerized trading system used by the firm and his daughter, Shana Madoff Swanson, worked for him at the firm as a rules and compliance officer and attorney. In 2007 she married Eric Swanson, whom she had met as he was conducting an SEC review of the firm in 2003 as an SEC assistant director.

Peter graduated from Fordham University School of Law in 1970 and was formerly director of the National Stock Exchange (Cincinnati Stock Exchange). Peter owned a home in Old Westbury, New York, valued between $3–5 million,and a $4.2 million home in Palm Beach, Florida, the title of which was transferred on November 8, 2006 to his wife, Marion, and a vintage Aston Martin.

Peter stepped down from the board of directors of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) in December 2008, as news of the Ponzi scheme broke. Peter also co-signed Bernie's bail bond. According to court documents, Peter did not agree to cooperate in the investigation.

Peter also owns between 5 percent and 10 percent of, and is a director of, Cohmad Securities Corp.[37] He has been subpoenaed by Massachusetts's Secretary of State William F. Galvin.

On April 3, 2009, his temporarily frozen assets previously ordered were modified to be allowed to spend up to $10,000 per month for living expenses, including mortgage loans and insurance premiums.

Peter served as a trustee for law student Andrew Samuels' $470,000 inheritance from his grandfather who worked for Madoff and created a trust for him. Andrew's lawsuit, claiming $2 million for breach of fiduciary duty (by investing his inheritance with Bernard Madoff), was settled in July 2009.[41] The case is Ross v. Madoff, 09-5534, New York Supreme Court for Nassau County (Mineola).

On April 13, 2009, Judge Arthur Hiller in Bridgeport, Connecticut, dissolved the temporary order he imposed March 30 freezing his assets. Madoff agreed to attachments of $2.5 million to his Long Island home. His attorney is H. James Pickerstein. The pension fund case is Retirement Program for Employees of the Town of Fairfield v. Madoff, FBT-CV-09-5023735-S, Superior Court of Connecticut (Bridgeport)

On April 30, 2009, Peter demanded a $500,000 licensing fee as part of the sale of BLMIS for intellectual property used by the market-making business, but it was rejected by the bankruptcy trustee who maintains that the patents are the property of the business. Members of the Madoff family, including Madoff, own holding companies that own Primex LLC, which holds intellectual property licensed to the Nasdaq stock market. The patents are used for electronic trading. 

Senator Frank Lautenberg's family foundation, which invested more than $7 million, also filed a lawsuit against Peter Madoff.

On June 29, 2012, Peter pleaded guilty in Federal court to a variety of charges and agreed to a 10-year prison term. Peter Madoff sometimes signed many weeks of compliance reports in one sitting, intentionally changing pens and ink colors to make it appear he had signed them at various times, according to prosecutors. Peter Madoff admitted to hiding millions of dollars from the IRS to avoid taxes, and took $200,000 from the firm for charitable donations, even after the fraud was exposed.

A forfeiture order requires Peter to surrender all of his assets to the government, including cash, homes, cars and a Rolex watch. A settlement reached with his family requires the forfeiture of assets held by his wife, Marion, his daughter, Shana Madoff Swanson, and other family members.[36]
