Madoff Hits Kevin Bacon

The theory that all things can eventually be connected to Kevin Bacon is true, it seems, even of Ponzi schemes. In this case, the math is pretty simple. Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedwick lost money to Bernard Madoff, although their spokesman refused to specify how much. Joining them on the losers list is Henry Kaufman, the Wall Street economist known as “Dr. Doom.” Kaufman called his losses “no more than a couple percent of my entire net worth" and "immaterial to my financial wellbeing.”
