Madoff Judge Orders Accounting By December 31

Disgraced money manager Bernard Madoff has been ordered to provide a written list by the end of the year of his assets and liabilities, a key step in finding what is left for investors after authorities said Madoff admitted squandering at least $50 billion.

U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton signed an order late Thursday requiring the 70-year-old Madoff to provide a verified accounting of all his assets, liabilities and property to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The directive was contained in an order that preserves a freeze of Madoff's assets, a directive put in place a week ago after authorities first filed charges against the former Nasdaq stock market chairman.
