A member of the board of trustees of Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla lost money to disgraced financier Bernard L. Madoff and indicated the hospital was also a victim.
Martin Rappaport, a real estate developer and manager, said in an e-mail to U.S. District Court Judge Denny Chin that he wanted to speak in court on the Madoff matter.
“I will love to appear in court against Mr. Bernard Madoff,” Rappaport wrote in the March 9 e-mail. “He got me good, but he got my crippled children’s hospital, Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, NY.”
The hospital did not provide a comment in response to the e-mail today.
E-mails and letters from Madoff’s victims were made public by the government after media outlets petitioned the court to release the documents. Prosecutors redacted the names of victims who wanted to remain anonymous.
Madoff admitted to Chin March 12 that he ran a massive Ponzi scheme from the early 1990s until his arrest last December. He was taken out of Chin’s lower Manhattan courtroom in handcuffs to the Manhattan Correctional Center, where he awaits his June sentencing.
Attempts to locate Rappaport by phone were unsuccessful. He did not immediately respond to an e-mail address listed on his e-mail to the judge.
