The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Weekdays 4 Eastern.


 


The both sides of the Atlantic coming to 22 million dollars in total. We've been looking at what the government is after in Google Earth.


 


First of all, this is Madoff’s New York City apartment, Upper East Side, penthouse apartment, valued at 7 million dollars. Then as the weekend getaway in the Hamptons, an oceanfront property here, 3 million dollars right on the beach, but then there’s also the 1.5 million dollars in contents and furniture in this one house alone. Then the most expensive house, Palm Beach Florida, also on the water, it has its own dock, 11 million dollars there.


 


And if that wasn’t enough vacation property, let’s go across to the French Riviera, where there is a one-million-dollar condo, quite modest you think, until you look, just down the road, and then you’ll see what’s anchored at the marina nearby: a yacht with 7 million dollars that the government is also going after. One of four yachts and boats, Wolf, and Madoff named them all “bull”. Would you believe?


 


 


Notes:


 


Upper East Side: The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in the borough 1 of Manhattan in New York City, between Central Park and the East River. Once known as the 'Silk Stocking District', it has some of the most expensive real estate in the United States. (From Wikipedia)


 


Getaway: A getaway is a short holiday somewhere. (INFORMAL)


 


Hamptons: The Hamptons refers specifically to the towns of Southampton and East Hampton on the east end of Long Island, New York. As usual in a summer colony, parts of the Hamptons are a well known playground for the rich who own summer homes there as well as a seaside resort frequented by the residents of New York City during the summer months for weekend getaways. (From Wikipedia)


 


French Riviera:  The Mediterranean 2 coastline of the southeastern corner of France, extending from Menton near the Italian border on the east to either Hyères or Cassis in the west. After World War II it became a popular destination for mass tourism and conventions. (From Wikipedia)
