The investment scheme put in motion by Bernard Madoff reached around the world, according to a New York Times
investigation, so perhaps it's no surprise that it has at least one link to the exclusive city of San Marino, a bastion of wealth in the western San Gabriel Valley and a gateway to trade with Asia. According to the article, Matthew Brown, son of a former San Marino mayor, did marketing for an investment firm that did big business with Madoff and helped him attract Asian investors.
The former mayor is Betty Brown, still serving on the city council as vice mayor.
