Description:  Madoff victims might finally get their hands on their stolen billions. The court-appointed trustee trying to recover Madoff’s loot has brought dozens of lawsuits but so far hasn’t been able to compensate victims. That might soon change. A court hearing is set for Jan. 13 that could unlock more than one-third of the $20 billion in stolen money.
