(Newser) – Scam king Bernie Madoff got into a shove match with another con during an argument about the stock market, according to jailbird witnesses. Another oldster con at the North Carolina fed pen where Bernie's serving 150 years shoved Madoff as the argument escalated. Madoff pushed back, causing the other inmate to stumble. "I didn't think Bernie had it in him. The other guy was in shock that he fought back," an inmate told the New York Post. The two ducked punishment because the confrontation wasn't spotted by guards.

Since his crime is white collar, he doesnt belong with murderers and violent criminals regardless of your feelings about him.

I bet they paid at least a carton of cigarettes and $25 of cell phone credit for that story! - and it's still not worth the price.
