Europeans Want Money Lost To Madoff Back

from National Public Radio

French investors lost an estimated $700 million in funds tied to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. France's top market watchdog pushed the giant Swiss bank UBS to reimburse investors for their losses. UBS acted as a "custodian bank" to those funds. In a statement, UBS said investors and their advisors knew their money was being placed with Madoff, so it's not responsible for the losses.
