The Sterling parties â including Fred Wilpon, chairman and CEO of the New York Mets, and Saul Katz, president of the New York Mets -- have agreed to pay $162 million over five years to the BLMIS Customer Fund. This is equal to 100 percent of the fictitious profits that were withdrawn by the Sterling parties during the six-year period prior to the BLMIS liquidation proceeding. http://www.bradenton.com/2012/03/19/3948442/sipc-comments-on-madoff-trustees.html
