Prosecutors: Madoff tried to protect $300M

Government says it wants financier accused in $50 billion fraud case locked up while the case continues.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Prosecutors have accused financier Bernard Madoff - the alleged mastermind of a $50 billion Ponzi scheme - of intending to transfer up to $300 million worth of assets to protect them from seizure, and they want him locked up immediately.

In a court filing Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department accused Madoff of having signed about 100 checks - worth a total of $173 million - "ready to be sent out" prior to his arrest by the FBI on Dec. 11 on a charge of securities fraud.

Prosecutors said the checks violate his $10 million bail agreement and was an attempt to prevent his alleged victims from recovering their losses.
