Madoff Is Cancer-Free: Prison Official

Share

(Newser) – Contrary to what you might have read in the New York Post, Bernie Madoff does not have cancer, Bloomberg reports. “While the N.Y. Post story is full of inaccuracies, and we can’t specifically address all of them, we can tell you that Bernie Madoff is not terminally ill, and has not been diagnosed with cancer,” a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman says. The Post reported that he might have pancreatic cancer. His lawyer offered little help in clarifying the situation: “I don’t discuss my client’s physical or mental condition.”

I was hoping he has a very, very long incarcerated life; more time to think and feel what he's perpetrated on others. On the other hand, he isn't worth the cost of being incarcerated - Or is he...?

Anyone surprised that the lying continues uninterrupted? This man has cancer alright: Cancer of the truth section in the brain. Thief. Here's hoping he's joined by those who should have caught him and didn't.
