Current news reports indicate that no trades were ever made by Madoff's advisory company using any investors' funds. Therefore, the brokerage industry was not involved in this theft. SIPC is only available to the brokerage industry which pays premiums for such coverage. Accordingly, no brokerages were involved,no premiums were paid, and no SIPC coverage is available. This is merely A confidence scheme and has no insurance coverage than one would have on A common theft unless the victim had indepently purchased coverage.

Are IRA accounts at Bernard Madoff insured by SIPC and from fraud?
The Securities and Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) provides insurance coverage after a lengthy claims process IF it chooses to start a SIPC proceeding. It is not automatic. Customers of a failed brokerage firm get back all securities (such as stocks and bonds) that already are registered in their name or are in the process of being registered. After this first step, the firm's remaining customer assets are then divided on a pro rata basis with funds shared in proportion to the size of claims. If sufficient funds are not available in the firm's customer accounts to satisfy claims within these limits, the reserve funds of SIPC are used to supplement the distribution, up to a ceiling of $500,000 per customer, including a maximum of $100,000 for cash claims. Additional funds may be available to satisfy the remainder of customer claims after the cost of liquidating the brokerage firm is taken into account. see www.sonnerez.com for general information about the Madoff case. The SEC in its complaint, also filed in Manhattan federal court, accused Madoff of a "multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme that he perpetrated on advisory clients of his firm." The agency said it's seeking emergency relief for investors, including an asset freeze and the appointment of a receiver for the firm. Ira Sorkin, another defense lawyer for Madoff, couldn't be immediately reached for comment. http://www.stockmarketfunding.com/SMF-Blogs/Hot-Trends/December-2008/Madoff-Charged-in-$50-Billion-Fraud-at-Advisory-Fi.aspx
