@Porcelain Just FYI, no one poster can "instruct' the mods to delete anything.

A post can be reported but that doesn't mean it will be deleted. It's up to the mods.

And I don't feel one bit bad for that evil crook. He was a waste of oxygen.

@Love my grandkids, I think that @Porcelain's use of "instruct" meant the same as "report" in in this context.

"Bernie Madoff: In His Own Words"

"The story of the largest financial fraud in history as told by those who were there, including victims, employees, family members, FBI agents, and Bernie Madoff himself; includes archival news footage, photos and recordings."

Carmine Persico took a liking of him and took Madoff under his protection.  Persico was a well known Mafiso in Butner for life.  Madoff advised him on investments!  Persico died in 2019.

Don't feel too bad for Ruth Madoff..........she was allowed to keep 1.2 Million!

@NicksmomESQ    He was very popular and well liked in prison...the other inmates admired him. Sadly, in prison he probably was happy.

 @SeaMaiden  I heard that too but somehow I don't believe it. He went from the high life to a jail cell. He was an emotionless S O B .I don't think he wanted to give the public the satisfaction of knowing that he was a broken man. 
  Both his sons are dead.His wife & grandchildren wanted nothing to do with him.The government refused his request for a compassionate release from prison.If a few prison mates admired him I doubt that made him happy. Early on a fellow prisoner also beat the c r a p out of him. Some mobsters apparently took a liking to him & protected him.
  By the way IMO his wife jumped ship to save her own skin. I believe she knew exactly what he was doing.She got off easy compared to him.She got to keep $2 1/2 million & slither away,to live a quiet life.

I read it was $2.5 million. Either way, she's not poor.

A soulless person who personified narcissism. I'm just glad he was convicted and put away. So many rich people have the $$$ to buffer themselves from judicial justice.

His life ended, but...what about the lives he ruined???
