"John Malkovich has reportedly sought $2.2m (\u00C2\u00A31.4m) from the liquidation of Bernie Madoff&amp;#039;s assets. According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor was a client of the convicted ponzi schemer and Malkovich filed papers charging that his trust deserved the amount listed on its final November 30, 2008 financial statement. &amp;quot;A customer generally expects to receive what he believes is in his account at the time the stockbroker ceases business,&amp;quot; read the trust&amp;#039;s statement. However, on March 1, the trustee liquidating Madoff&amp;#039;s firm awarded only $670,000 (\u00C2\u00A3440,000) to the Being John Malkovich star, arguing that this amount represented the account&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;net equity&amp;quot;, the difference between what an investor puts into a firm and what he or she ultimately takes out. The celebrity is appealing the decision in a New York City court. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
