A picture taken in January 2009 in New York, shows Bernard Madoff leaving US Federal Court after a hearing regarding his bail. The trappings of Madoff's once luxurious lifestyle -- jewels, furs and expensive trinkets -- will be auctioned Saturday in New York to benefit victims of the Wall Street swindler.
