Worried investors are rushing to assess the extent of potential losses after the alleged $50bn (£33.5bn) fraud by the ex-head of the Nasdaq stock market.

Wall Street broker Bernard Madoff's fund ran up the massive fraud, which he called "one big lie", prosecutors said.

A federal judge has appointed a receiver to oversee Mr Madoff firm's assets and customer accounts.

Hundreds of people are thought to have invested with him. The 70-year-old has been released on $10m bail.
