Ten could be charged in Madoff fraud: source

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ten or more people associated with multibillion dollar swindler Bernard Madoff could face criminal charges in investigations in the coming months or beyond, a law enforcement source said on Tuesday.

Disgraced financier Madoff, 71, was sentenced to 150 years imprisonment on Monday after he pleaded guilty in March to orchestrating a worldwide investment scheme of as much as $65 billion.

"When all is said and done, the FBI thinks there is a good chance it will be able to charge 10 or more people," said the law enforcement source, who asked not to be identified because the investigation is continuing.
