Accountant Is Probed in Madoff-Related Case [WSJ]
Federal law-enforcement officials are investigating whether accountant Paul Konigsberg played a role in the massive Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, people close to the probe said. Mr. Konigsberg, a partner at accounting firm Konigsberg Wolf & Co., had been accused in lawsuits by victims of funneling money to Mr. Madoff. Mr. Konigsberg denied the allegations in court papers, and the lawsuits were dismissed, with the consent of both sides, in 2011. He didn't respond to a request for comment. It is unclear what, if any, charges federal prosecutors might bring against Mr. Konigsberg. He hasn't been accused of wrongdoing.
