MADOFF MOVES TO HARLEM TO SAVE MONEY?

Due to the liquidation of his assets, swindler Bernie the “Baller” Madoff may soon be thrown out of his 5 Star 64th Street Penthouse and have to find new digs to call home, and is looking at possible locations in Harlem

In an effort to liquidate Madoff's assets, lawyers working for a Federal Bankruptcy trustee have been in touch with top New York real estate brokers to try and put a dollar value on Madoff’s 4 bedroom, five bath home.
