Madoff Whistleblower’s Lawyer Branches Out on Own

July 31, 2009

Gaytri Kachroo, the former attorney for Harry Markopolos, the Boston forensic accountant who tried to warn the SEC about Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, left McCarter & English three weeks ago for conflicts reasons. But while Kachroo is now flying solo, her role in the continuing-to-unfold Madoff mess is far from over. "I'm looking at a number of class and individual actions principally against feeder funds," says Kachroo, adding that those types of matters weren't possible at her former firm.
