Bernie Madoff: Will David Friehling, Bernie's CPA, Be Indicted Or Cop A Plea Today?
Update: The NY Times blog, The Deal, posted the US attorney's request to postpone Dave's day of reckoning for another 30 days. What the heck is left to talk about?
June 17. Today's the day David Friehling, Bernie's CPA, is supposed to be indicted by a grand jury or cop a plea.
From a 5/18/2009 Dow Jones article:
"The deadline to seek an indictment in the criminal case against the former accountant of convicted Ponzi-scheme operator Bernard Madoff has been extended another 30 days.
On Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein in Manhattan extended the deadline to present evidence to a grand jury in support of an indictment against David G. Friehling, the sole practitioner at Friehling & Horowitz, CPAs, PC until June 17..."
Nothing on the docket and nothing in the news so far.
After reading letters to the court from the Madoff victims, I doubt Friehling will want to face a jury.
Thanks Mrs Panstreppon for keeping us up-to-date on all this.

You're welcome. I just posted an update about the indictment being postponed another 30 days. I can't imagine what Friehling has to offer in a plea deal.
