New York Daily News:
“The last time William Thompson ran for mayor, he promised to donate
thousands of dollars from his campaign war chest to charity after the
Daily News discovered that of his biggest longtime donors was linked to
Bernie Madoff. But four years later, Thompson not only hasn’t donated
the money — he’s also pocketed even more campaign contributions from the
Madoff-tainted financier Seymour Zises. Zises — who was sued by victims
of the Ponzi schemer for secretly investing the majority of their money
with Madoff — has given more than $21,000 to Thompson’s various
campaigns over the years.”
