Actor Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick are expected to receive a substantial payout after losing millions to incarcerated conman Bernie Madoff.
The celebrities were among the many wealthy clients who were conned into investing in the Wall Street fraudster's elaborate Ponzi scheme, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle.
The scam was exposed in 2008 when Madoff was arrested and he is serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina.
Bankruptcy lawyers have been working to recover the lost funds ever since.
Some victims, like actor John Malkovich, have previously been granted settlements, others are only now starting to have funds returned.
