Malkovich seeks more from Madoff

NEW YORK - Actor John Malkovich, a former client of Bernard Madoff, is seeking to recover $2.23 million from the liquidation of the securities firm once run by the imprisoned Ponzi schemer.

In a Thursday filing in Manhattan bankruptcy court, the John Malkovich Pension Plan and Trust objected to a decision by Irving Picard, the trustee liquidating Madoff's firm, to award it $670,000.

Like many other Madoff investors, the Malkovich trust argued that it deserved the balance reflected on its November 30, 2008, account statement from Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, the final statement prior to Madoff's arrest 11 days later.
