On November 19, 2014, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved a settlement between the SIPA Trustee and the defendants in Picard v. Edward Blumenfeld, et al. The settlement motion was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 17, 2014. The agreement has an aggregate potential value of approximately $62 million for the BLMIS Customer Fund. Under the agreement, the Blumenfeld defendants agreed to make an immediate payment of $32.75 million to the BLMIS Customer Fund for the benefit of BLMIS customers with allowed claims. The Blumenfeld defendants also agreed to transfer their customer claims in the Madoff SIPA liquidation, totaling approximately $29.35 million, to the SIPA Trustee. Since the customer claims were immediately entitled to the four interim pro rata distributions that had been made to date, plus up to the $500,000 SIPC advance each, the BLMIS Customer Fund immediately benefitted by an additional $17.7 million, making the total payment at the time of the settlement agreement approximately $50.47 million. An additional $6.65 million has been paid to the BLMIS Customer Fund as a result of the fifth through fifteenth pro rata distributions, which commenced on February 6, 2015 through February 23, 2024, bringing the total recoveries under the Blumenfeld settlement to approximately $57.12 million. The SIPA Trustee could capture up to an additional $4.98 million from future pro rata distributions on the transferred claims for the benefit of BLMIS customers with allowed claims.

On June 1, 2012, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approved a $162 million settlement agreement between the SIPA Trustee and Saul B. Katz, et al (“KW Settling Parties”). The 2012 agreement between the two parties allows the BLMIS Customer Fund to recoup six years of fictitious profits. Under terms of the settlement, the KW Settling Parties’ allowed claims of approximately $177 million (BLMIS accounts in which the KW Settling Parties had deposited more money than they had withdrawn – their “net loser” accounts) were unconditionally assigned to the SIPA Trustee until the $162 million settlement amount is reached. Distributions made on the allowed claims assigned to the SIPA Trustee were added to the BLMIS Customer Fund to reduce the amount owed by the KW Settling Parties. On September 28, 2012 through December 4, 2015, a total of $100.767 million was paid to the BLMIS Customer Fund as a result of the first through sixth pro rata distributions.

In the spring of 2016, the KW Settling Parties requested a modification to the June 1, 2012 Settlement Agreement, asking that payments owed to the SIPA Trustee in 2016 and 2017 be extended over a longer period of time in exchange for interest payments, while efforts continue on the part of the SIPA Trustee and his legal team to recover monies that can and will be used to offset those payments through future pro rata interim distributions. The SIPA Trustee agreed to those modifications. (For the full May 31, 2016 statement on the revised agreement, please click here.) As a result of the first through twelfth pro rata distributions the SIPA Trustee made on the account of Katz Wilpon assigned customer claims totaling $123.34 million, in addition to five installment payments totaling $40.88 million, a total of $164.221 million in recoveries has been added to the Customer Fund for the benefit of BLMIS customers with allowed claims.

On December 21, 2011, a $326 million settlement with the United States of America, on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The SIPA Trustee determined that BLMIS falsely debited the accounts of 126 foreign account holders for alleged U.S. federal income tax withholding and paid to the IRS amounts withheld related to alleged dividends. Because no securities were purchased and thus no dividends were actually ever received by BLMIS, no amounts should have been withheld and transferred to the IRS. After receipt of the settlement payment, the specific accounts were credited for the amounts transferred from 2002 – 2008 and, where appropriate, a catch up pro rata interim distribution of 4.602 percent for the credited amount has been made. On March 25, 2014, the SIPA Trustee filed a motion for an order approving a fourth allocation of property to the Customer Fund and requesting approval to authorize a fourth interim distribution to BLMIS customers with allowed claims. In that filing, the SIPA Trustee indicated that he has removed the $103 million in reserve that was set aside since December 21, 2011, when the IRS settlement became final. The IRS settlement authorized the SIPA Trustee to release the reserve two years and sixty days after the order approving the settlement agreement became final. The fourth pro rata interim distribution was approved by the Court and commenced on May 5, 2014.

On October 4, 2011, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved a settlement with Mount Capital Fund, a BLMIS feeder fund in liquidation in the British Virgin Islands, which returned $43.5 million to the BLMIS Customer Fund.

On September 22, 2011, the agreement was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, but was appealed by third-party appellants.

Terms of the settlement include an immediate and permanent reduction – of $730 million – in the total amount of claims against the BLMIS Customer Fund by the Fairfield Funds, which would effectively increase future payments to customers with allowed claims. In addition, the settlement agreement aligned the interests of the SIPA Trustee and his counsel with the Joint Liquidators of Fairfield Sentry, strengthening both parties’ abilities to pursue and recover additional claims against the owners and management of the Fairfield Funds, as well as hundreds of subsequent transferees of customer property. The Joint Liquidators also agreed to make a $70 million payment to the SIPA Trustee with an initial payment of $24 million which has been paid by an $8 million offset of funds owed to the Fairfield Joint Liquidators and a $16 million cash payment by the Liquidators to the BLMIS Customer Fund.

On February 18, 2010, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved a pre-litigation settlement between the SIPA Trustee and the estate of Norman F. Levy. This settlement resulted in the return of $220 million (the Norman Levy Settlement). Certain customers moved to set aside the Court’s order approving the Norman Levy settlement. The Bankruptcy Court denied the motion, and the claimants filed an appeal in United States District Court on April 11, 2011. On February 16, 2012, the District Court upheld the Bankruptcy Court’s earlier ruling approving the SIPA Trustee's settlement with the Levy family. The District Court’s ruling was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which affirmed the judgment of the District Court. On March 21, 2013, the period to challenge the Circuit Court’s ruling expired and the settlement became final, and unappealable. The $220 million was included in the Customer Fund and the SIPA Trustee requested its inclusion in the fourth interim distribution to BLMIS customers with allowed claims.
