Update. According to CNBC, this story is not true. Probably NYPost looking for some pageviews.
Madoff, who is serving 150 years at a North Carolina federal lockup after pleading guilty to swindling more than $65 billion, has been telling fellow inmates he does not have much longer to live.
“He’s been taking about 20 pills a day for his cancer,” said one inmate. “He talks about it all the time. He’s not doing very well.”
He’ll probably show up dead someday (because he finally killed himself) and they’ll blame it on the “cancer”.
Or he’ll be released to be with his family like the Lockerbie bomber (thanks, commenter #3!).
When he dies tell his family and bury him.
Bottom line, this doesn’t do anyone any good.
*It doesn’t return what was taken.
*It doesn’t restore the trust we should have in our government, that it is looking out for us.
*It hasn’t been used as a lesson learned by the government on improving oversight.
*It’s just a wasted life.
#32: “It’s just a wasted life.”
No, Madoff wasted thousands of other peoples’ lives. Now it’s his turn.
He’ll end up on a beach in Tel Aviv in the near future because he’s a special breed of criminal; they all do.
