The payout from the government's Madoff Victim Fund will go to 27,219 victims, including more than 400 who had yet to recoup a penny from any source. Wednesday's payout is the eighth from the government fund, with victims recouping an average 88.35% of their losses. It originally held $4.05 billion, but has grown because the Justice Department has recovered additional assets.
