MIDTOWN — Want to own some Bernie bling?
The U.S. Marshalls are auctioning off jewelry — including a 14 karat gold Tiffany money clip, 18 karat gold Patek Philippe watch and Boucheron diamond ivy leaf brooch — that was seized from the infamous Ponzi scheme couple, Bernie and Ruth Madoff, in 2014, the agency announced Tuesday.
“The Marshals have sold thousands of Madoff assets, including real property, boats, vehicles, jewelry and household items,” the Marshals wrote in an email. “Net proceeds from the sale will be made available to the court for restitution to the victims in this case.”
The FBI initially discovered the assets and turned them over to the Marshals to be auctioned, a spokeswoman said.
The online sale runs through Feb. 16.
