The largest settlement to date in the Bernard Madoff multi-billion dollar Ponzi scandal has been approved by a U.S. judge today, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The estate of one of the largest beneficiaries of Bernard Madoff’s multibillion dollar Ponzi scheme, Jeffry Picower, has agreed to return $7 billion to Madoff’s victims.

The deal was set to be announced at a news conference on Friday.
