A grand jury handed up indictments against two former computer programmers of Ponzi King Bernie Madoff, suggesting that efforts to reach a plea deal have fallen apart.

Jerome O’Hara, 47, and George Perez, 44, stand accused of conspiracy, falsifying records of a broker-dealer and falsifying records of an investment adviser.

The pair, who were first charged in November, entered code for Madoff’s New York investment firm and helped create false documents to make it appear that that scammer was making legitimate trades, prosecutors allege.

Both men each face a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

According to prosecutors, the duo tried to walk away from the Ponzi scheme in 2006, but were convinced to stay and continue to aid in Madoff’s ruse after their boss promised them pay raises and bonuses of more than $60,000 each.
