(Bloomberg): Harley International (Cayman) Ltd., an insolvent Cayman Islands-based fund that allegedly funnelled money to Bernard Madoff, was ordered to pay $1.07 billion to creditors of the convicted con man.

Madoff Investment Securities LLC, sued Harley in May 2009, seeking to recover phony profits paid to Harley in the six years before the Madoff bankruptcy was filed.
