JUST IN: Bernard Madoff, the mastermind behind a $20 billion Ponzi scheme whose name became synonymous with financial fraud, has died in federal prison.

His death Wednesday at the Federal Medical Center in the prison in Butner, North Carolina, was confirmed by the US Bureau of Prisons. A cause of death was not released.In February 2020, he petitioned the courts for an early release from prison, stating that he had terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months.

He supposedly had a total of $65 billion under management, but two thirds of that money was a figment of Bernie Madoff's imagination. The rest was his investors' principle. Madoff founded Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities in 1960, but no one has been able to prove when Madoff began stealing from investors. He told CNNMoney in a 2013 interview that it all started in 1987, but he later said the scheme began in 1992. Madoff's former account manager, Frank DiPascali, Jr.

Dammm

Evilness don't pay

charlie chester says cnn is fake news

Doesn't the United Nations understand the suffering of the people of Tigray who are being killed every day? Many children are worried that their father and mother have been killed The people of Tigray are waiting for the end of the United Nations

Nobody can serve a 150 year sentence lol

Madoff made the one mistake a white collar criminal can never make. Do not steal from people wealthier than you.

All of a sudden, the Roman Catholic concept of purgatory seems pretty convincing to me.

What did he serve, 10 years? Bury him under the jail, 140 to go

It will never stop astounding me what he did, and how long he was able to pull it off. And he was never sorry for what he did, classic narcissist. He only turned himself in because he was in too deep and no money to fix it.

this man drove a billionaire to suicide

It's all temporary folks. You own nothing.

Devil 👿

Good

I don’t know if urbandictionary has an entry for “fuck around and find out”; but if they do, and it doesn’t contain a picture of BernieMadoff exemplifying the past-tense “fucked around and found out”, then that would just be a huge missed opportunity.

He had this personal tomb built years ago in preparation for this occasion.

😂😂😂😂😱😱😱

He should’ve topped off his crimes with inciting an insurrection, extorting a foreign leader, or sexually abusing some women...then he wouldn’t have gone to prison 🙄

For all those who hoped he would die in prison, it's done. Now, will he rot in hell?

And Trump golfs on.

Rip bro

And no one cared

RIP Bernie he was good but complicated man

ExposeCNN ProjectVeritas

Thought for sure he would’ve outlived his sentence.

That's good in Kenya we still have idiots moving around with stolen money and talking about 2022

Well that’s a shame - what’s for lunch?

Discharging Japanese radiation water would kill American people!!!!!

I think the pathology expert is saying that proportionally, George Floyd’s body was under stress. That’s body proportion, compared to an “average” male.

Good Riddance!

He screwed over a bunch of rich guys and got crucified. Many were the same greedy rich guys that screw over regular Americans every day and get away with it.

Dipstick Don now moves up the ladder to current King Of The Grifters!

I would die too

The love of money

. PsychPeacock I see a 'Fonzi Scheme' meme in your immediate future.

POS

Kevin Bacon can sleep in peace now

So a spot is now open at the federal prison in NC. We’ve reserved that spot for a Trump.

Making room for 45 I hope

이재용 봐라.

So, will Barron be the one who turns in Daddy, so The Former can live and suffer in jail like Madoff?🤔🤣🤣🤣

Abolish policing and incarceration!

No Trump pardon I'm amazed!

Did they try cpr? He still owes.

Raised a child who was crippled from birth. Jesus is coming ACrippleHasWalked

This is hopefully a reminder for people like Madoff and friends that crime doesn’t extend your life. Especially for many politicians who think that they are super humans or Messias. Life has one equality for all of us BIRTH AND DEATH.

Bernie Madoff looked into the hearts of all his investors and discovered that he could earn from their greediness. Bernie and those he duped are two sides of the same coin 🪙. Sorry guys!

Good riddance!!

Knock knock Hell, you've got another one coming through.

Hopefully he is suffering in his own personal 'Twilight Zone' situation now...

jaketapper WeakEnd load with Bernie

NatashaChenCNN Actor Kevin Bacon was one of the biggest victims of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. I was emaciated to the point of mental decline in the face of the bankruptcy crisis, but I recovered thanks to the encouragement and comfort of the people around me.

Acosta Fatty Five is mulling over his breakfast of diet coke and dry hamburger ..Is this my fate too?

Rest in hell.

RIP to a real one. Gone too soon.

Acosta Rot in hell!

Good riddance

Seemed like a decent fella. Wish I could have met him.

Good Riddance

Karma?

I pray all his victims can move on now. What a dark part of American financial history.

Acosta You sure this isn’t another scheme of his to get more money?

Il doit être reçu par l’enfer😅

No tears for this selfish man

It's going to be 🔥

jaketapper Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds

Acosta 'That's too bad..'

JUSTICE served now mr ponzi can rest in peace..

jaketapper Karma still undefeated.

Flush the toilet and be done with this shit
