Good!

The I.R.S. announced today that victims of Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme will be entitled to tax refunds if they paid taxes on phantom profits.
Madoff investors should have been reporting earnings from their investments with him through the years and thus paid taxes on those earnings. Given that some of those were "phantom" profits, investors have said they should be entitled to refunds of the taxes they paid.
....By some estimates, the IRS could be out as much as $17 billion in lost tax revenue from refunds to investors who earned fictitious profits in the Madoff scheme.
