Madoff Moved to NC Prison

With transfer, con man begins his 150-year sentence

Share

(Newser) – Bernard Madoff was transferred today from Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center to a prison in Butner, NC, to serve out his 150-year sentence, sources tell CNBC. Madoff’s attorney had requested that the 71-year-old convicted Ponzi schemer do his time at Otisville in upstate New York. The prison system tries to place inmates within 500 miles of family; the Butner facility is just within that distance from New York.

I hope the "undisclosed location" is somewhere in hell. Reply

Let him rot in jail. The antithesis of 'good riddance'. Reply

He should be transferred to a prison in Pyongyang instead. Reply

This guy deserves more than he got but a court can only do so much but am I the only one who has noticed in the grand scheme of things he is a small time crook? The larger one are still on Wall Street and running the banks and raiding your money each day and not a charge is ever filed.... Reply
