Crooked Financier Madoff 'dying' 25th August 2009 Crooked financier Bernard Madoff is dying of cancer, it was reported. The convicted fraudster told inmates at his North Carolina prison that he does not have long to live, according to the New York Post. Madoff is serving a 150-year prison sentence for masterminding a massive "Ponzi" pyramid scheme that swindled investors out of billions of dollars. In June, the 71-year-old was ordered to spend the rest of his life behind bars after admitting 11 charges of fraud, perjury and false reporting relating to the 65 billion dollar (£40 billion) scam. It resulted in him having to exchange his upmarket Manhattan apartment for a cell in a federal prison. The New York Post quoted a fellow inmate as stating Madoff is on 20 pills a day while battling the illness. "He talks about it all the time. He's not doing very well," the unnamed source told the newspaper. Rumours have previously circulated concerning Madoff's health, with suggestions that he has been fighting pancreatic cancer over the last few months. Madoff's lawyer Daniel Horowitz did not immediately respond to phone calls regarding the state of his client's health. Source; news.uk.msn.com |

Why the SNP should never gain independance. Strange, what you mention is probably the only time, ever, I've agreed with the Scottish Government. CC |

Bernie Madoff 'Hit the Inmate Lottery' with Butner Prison, Consultant Says Quote: 'Home sweet home' has new meaning for notorious Ponzi scammer Bernie Madoff, who arrived clad in a blue jumpsuit at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina just before noon today to begin serving his 150-year sentence.
Share The financier will spend his remaining years in Butner Correctional Facility. Madoff, 71, who had an overnight layover at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta, GA, "hit the inmate lottery" by being assigned to Butner's medium security lockup, said federal sentencing attorney Alan Ellis, who characterizes the facility as "one of the crown jewels of the federal prison system." "It looks and feels like a college campus," said Ellis, who has clients currently serving time there and says it's a popular assignment request for many white collar criminals. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Madoff/st ... 354&page=1 |

It's better than ours when we give life but don't mean it Yeah a better system would be to shoot them, and their relatives, and the relatives of the victim. Until someone can come up with a better system, ours is one of rehabilitation.....as sad as that is. To have a state that says its against murder, then murders people is a tad ironic, dont you think?

CC I take it you are referring to the USA with their death penalty. I would just like to see people justly locked up for life without parole if the crime they commit warrants it |
