Meaghan Cheung, SEC investigator
of Markopolos' Nov 2005 complaint.
Bernie's brother, Peter Madoff and his daughter, Shana both attended Fordham Law School. So did Meaghan Cheung, one of the SEC investigators of Harry Markopolos' November 2005 complaint. Cheung and her superior Doria Bachenheimer, who signed off on the case, both have left SEC for personal reasons since September of last year, just a few months before Bernard Madoff confessed and was arrested.
Among other things, Peter Madoff was a Chief Compliance Officer at his brother Bernie's firm. Peter was also a director of several securities associations and exchanges. Peter's daughter Shana, was Bernie' firm's compliance officer.
Here's Peter Madoff's house.
As the No. 2 executive at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, Peter Madoff worked side by side with his older brother Bernard for nearly 40 years. Peter was viewed as Bernie's heir apparent so the brothers tried to avoid flying together when they went on skiing trips together. Now, they are keeping their distance. Peter has stopped coming into the office and isn't talking publicly about his role at the securities firm, where he headed trading operations.
Peter's daughter also joined the family business. She worked primarily as a "compliance lawyer" at Madoff Securities' market-making arm at the time of her uncle's arrest.
