The Madoff remission process has concluded.

No additional remission payments will be issued and there will be no further updates.  If you receive communication about the Madoff remission process, it is likely a scam.

The Department of Justice and its remission administrators will never ask for payment to participate in or receive funds from the remission process.  Any communication will come directly from the remission administrator or from government representatives with whom you have already had contact. Please be cautious of any other individual or organization claiming to represent the federal government.

If you are asked to pay a fee from an unknown source, it is a fraud.
