Drudge: Bernie Madoff dead and in hell
Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff dies in prison at 82
April 14, 2021
NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Madoff, the infamous architect of an epic securities swindle that burned thousands of investors, outfoxed regulators and earned him a 150-year prison term, died behind bars early Wednesday. He was 82.
Madoff’s death at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, was confirmed by his lawyer and the Bureau of Prisons.
Last year, Madoff’s lawyers unsuccessfully asked a court to release him from prison during the coronavirus pandemic, saying he suffered from end-stage renal disease and other chronic medical conditions.
One of those lawyers, Brandon Sample, said on Wednesday it was believed Madoff died from natural causes related to his failing health.
