    BOSTON--An associate of accused Ponzi mastermind Bernard Madoff has failed to appear before the Massachusetts Securities Division despite being issued a subpoena.

    Officials want to learn more about what Robert Jaffe might have known about Madoff's alleged $50 billion scheme and how it affected Massachusetts investors.

    Jaffe, who keeps homes in Weston and Palm Beach, Fla., worked for a firm that helped steer clients to Madoff. Jaffe has said he was unaware of the scheme and said he and his families were victims.

    A spokesman for Secretary of State William Galvin said he didn't know why Jaffe failed to appear Tuesday. The division is deciding its next step.

    A call to Jaffe's home wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.
