PALM BEACH, Fla. — Thieves calling themselves “The Educators” have returned a statue stolen from disgraced investment guru Bernie Madoff. And they hope he’s learned his lesson.
The Palm Beach Post reports that the $10,000 copper sculpture turned up Wednesday near the country club Madoff belonged to.
A note attached read: “Bernie the Swindler, Lesson: Return stolen property to rightful owners. Signed by — The Educators.”
The statue was reported missing Dec. 22, about a week after the Wall Street money manager was arrested on charges he bilked investors out of more than $50 billion.
