    Excerpted from the Manhattan Spectrum:

    A federal marshall, wishing to remain anonymous, explained what transpired.

    “So then Madoff says, ‘Sure, sure, I’ve got the money. No problem. I just left my checkbook in Antananarivo (The capital of Madagascar). I’ll be right back to make this right.’”

    “The director bought it hook, line, and sinker. He even drove him to the airport, but just as they arrived the director said, ‘Hey, wait a minute. Isn’t Madagascar one of the countries we don’t have an extradition treaty with?’ Madoff shrugged, smiled and said, ‘Got me.’”

    “We all had a good laugh.”
