5 Madoff Ex-Workers Convicted in Case's 1st Trial

``Five former employees of imprisoned financier Bernard Madoff were convicted Monday at the end of a six-month trial that portrayed them as telling an elaborate web of lies to hide a fraud that enriched them and cheated investors out of billions of dollars. The trial -- one of the longest in the storied history of Manhattan federal court -- was the first to result from the massive fraud revealed in December 2008 when Madoff ran out of money and was arrested.''
