The marketing mogul behind Cabbage Patch kids and Pokemon toys is moving into jailed Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff's New York apartment, the New York Post reports. Alfred R.

The sale will go toward the government's effort to pay back Madoff's victims. On Friday, Madoff's relatives agreed to an asset freeze.
