Bernard Madoff's brother, sons and a niece, accused in a lawsuit of using the family finance business like a "piggy bank," have agreed to an asset freeze, according to a document filed in court Friday. Trustee Irving Picard sued the family members in November, seeking nearly $200 million that he said had enabled them to live lavishly at the expense of Madoff investors.
