Ex-NY governor Cuomo to mediate $1 bln Mets-Madoff suit
Mario Cuomo, the former New York governor, was named as mediator in the $1 billion legal battle between the owners of the New York Mets baseball team and the trustee for victims of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
US Bankruptcy Judge Burton Lifland appointed Cuomo, the father of current New York governor Andrew Cuomo, late Thursday afternoon, saying the dispute presented "special issues" that required "an appropriately experienced mediator." (Reuters)
