Mets Owners Owe $300 Million: Madoff Lawsuit

Lawyers agreed to make complaint public after settlement talks broke down

By JONATHAN DIENST

A court-appointed trustee wants the owners of the New York Mets to give up $300 million -- money he says is fake profit from Bernard Madoff's epic Ponzi scheme, lawyers say.

The demand is made in a complaint ordered unsealed Friday in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan. Read the court order to unseal the complaint.

The complaint by trustee Irving Picard names Fred Wilpon, Jeff Wilpon and others connected to the Mets and Sterling Equities as defendants. Lawyers agreed to make it public after settlement talks broke down.

The suit has cast a cloud over the Mets ownership, which has said it's exploring a partial sale of the team.
