U.S. prosecutors want swindler Bernard Madoff and his wife Ruth to forfeit homes, cars, boats, securities, silverware and a piano following his March 12 guilty plea, according to a court document.

Madoff's lawyers were not immediately available to comment.

Madoff, 70, a former Nasdaq stock market chairman, is in jail pending sentencing on June 16. His attorneys intend to appeal a judge's order that revoked his bail after his dramatic courtroom plea last Thursday.
