THE RECORD
A 76-year Paramus man who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud while working for Bernard Madoff has asked to the court postpone his sentencing, in part due to ill health.
Irwin Lipkin, who lives in Bergen County and Delray Beach, Fla., filed papers in U.S. District Court in Manhattan Tuesday seeking to adjourn the Sept. 12 sentencing until later in the year, “probably some time in December,” due to a host of issues.
Lipkin, who was hired by Madoff in 1964 and was the first non-family employee at the company, pleaded guilty in November 2012. Prosecutors alleged that Lipkin, at the direction of Madoff, made “false and misleading entries” concerning the company’s profits and losses.
Lipkin’s son, Eric, of Ridgewood, also pleaded guilty in the case, and is set to be sentenced a week after his father, on Sept. 19. Eric Lipkin pleaded guilty to fabricating records at the company.

Sins of the father, sins of the son – or daughter
This is a slap in the face to everyone who lost money with Madoff
