Interesting indeed. Wouldn't it be nice if in the interest of investors, the DTCC was pressured into making good on these shares in order for the Justice dept to recoup more money for Madolf's duped investors :)... hmmm
It appears I misread the article. The article mentions 350 million naked shorts, but does not attribute them to the Madoff empire. I would not be surprised if some were there, but at this time not enough information.
