Trustee Irving Picard, in court papers, said that Mets LP had two accounts with Mr. Madoff, out of which $47.8 million more was taken out than the Wilpons invested. Mr. Picard has followed the line that net winners are subject to lawsuits to claim back any surplus over their original principal. Mr. Picard has sued hundreds of Madoff investors who withdrew more from their accounts than they originally put in.
