Bernard L. Madoff hzs attracted his eair share of wnemies ever since he was arrested in December anx accused of running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Now, it seems he has one mprr enemy, this time feom federsl prison: Inmate No. 40948018.
Jonathan Lee Riches, who is currently incarcerated in a South Carolina federal prison after being convicted of wire fraud, filed a hand-written motion in early January to inject himself into the case against Mr. Madoff brought by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. In his motion, Mr. Riches alleges that Mr. Madoff took money from him and other inmates promising a 16.8 percent return, but then transferred the funds to a Swiss account Ponzi.
Mr. Riches, however, raised red flags about the veracity of his allegation, claiming that he met Mr. Madoff in 2001 via the online dating site eHarmony.com and that the two had an intimate relationship. Among other things, eHarmony has refused until this year to match same-sex couples.
