Two computer programmers who worked in the Manhattan offices where Bernard Madoff masterminded a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme were arrested by federal agents on charges they helped cover up the disgraced money manager's massive fraud for more than 15 years.
Jerome O'Hara and George Perez, who worked on the 17th-floor of the midtown building where Madoff's investment business was run, helped construct the "house of cards" that enabled him to defraud investors over decades, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney said.
