Austrian banker Kohn wasMadoff victim - lawyer Reuters: "Austrian banker Sonja Kohn, accused in a U.S. lawsuit of being Bernard Madoff's 'criminal soul mate', was instead a victim of the man behind the biggest fraud in financial history, her lawyer in Vienna said.
The U.S. trustee seeking money for people cheated in Madoff's decades-long multibillion dollar fraud sued Kohn and the bank she founded, Bank Medici, as well as Italy's UniCredit CRID.MI and its unit, Bank Austria, and 53 other defendants on Friday.
The litigation seeks to recover $19.6 billion in damages. [ID:nN10108416]
Kohn's attorney Andreas Theiss reiterated his client's assertions that she did no wrong."
