Jerome O’Hara and George Perez were arrested Friday at their homes

The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan says the pair formerly worked for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities.

“Without the help of O’Hara and Perez, the Madoff fraud would not have been possible,” George S. Canellos, director of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s New York Regional Office, said in a statement.

The men are charges them with conspiracy, falsifying books and records of a broker-dealer, and falsifying books and records of an investment adviser

Both men were released on $1-million bond after a brief hearing on Friday.

.The 71-year-old Madoff was sentenced in June to 150 years in prison for orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme that spanned decades.
