Madoff's Wellesley victims

Been keeping an eye out for whether any Wellesleyites got duped by alleged thief Bernard Madoff, and while we haven’t seen any on the big lists, Wellesley’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Center and Wellesley College did show up on a list of organizations that had received donations ($5,000 apiece for these two) last year from the Carol and Ruth Shapiro Family Foundation. That foundation had $145 million invested through Madoff that they won’t be getting back, meaning Spaulding, Wellesley College and other recipients of the Shapiro Foundation’s generosity are among those who will feel the trickle down effect of the Madoff scheme.
