Aurelia Finance SA is a Geneva, Switzerland, private bank and fund-management company that was a feeder fund to Bernie Madoff. Aurelia managed 1.7 billion Swiss francs of clients’ money, and advised clients to invest in the Hermes World Fund, a Madoff feeder fund which was listed in Dublin in January 2004, as part of a “conservative” portfolio.〔 ==Madoff== It placed assets of its 800 million Swiss francs ($758 million) Hermes World Fund in investments with Bernard Madoff.〔 Irving Picard, the trustee charged with recovering money for Madoff fraud victims, alleged that in September 2008 when a JPMorgan Structured Investments Distribution Marketing division employee disclosed JPMorgan plans to redeem its money, he was threatened by employees of Aurelia Finance. Picard asserted in a complaint: "The Aurelia Finance representatives repeatedly opposed (Morgan's ) plan. At two points in the conversation, the Aurelia Finance representatives made threats ... referring to 'Colombian friends' who could 'cause havoc' and telling (JPMorgan employee ) 'we know where to find you’.”〔 JPMorgan reported the threats to the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency in October 2008 by filing a Suspicious Activity Report, concerned that “Colombian drug money” was involved in the Madoff firm.〔 Aurelia lost an estimated $800 million of clients' money by investing in Bernard Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme, uncovered in December 2008.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aurelia Finance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
