Bernard Madoff’s former personal secretary is among five of the con man’s ex-employees who will be the first to face a jury in a criminal trial for their alleged roles in carrying out the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme.
The former employees, all of whom have pleaded not guilty, include Annette Bongiorno, who worked with Madoff for 40 years and helped recruit investors. Jury selection for the trial, which the judge estimated could last five months, is slated to start Oct. 7 in federal court in Manhattan.
