The key point is that Bonilla wasn’t. If I lost money with Madoff, I couldn’t tell my mortgage company that it was too bad for them that I was going to pay my mortgage with the money that was lost.
The other Mets players didn't lose everything as a result of the Madoff Ponzi scheme, it was only the owner. This scheme let the owner legally move the money over to the ponzi scheme, that's it.
