This is going to be the longest 150-year sentence ever. According to the Wall Street Journal’s jail house sources some time in December the jailed CEO was treated for a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face after being beat up by a prisoner at the Butner Federal Prison where he is being held. Allegedly some guy believed he was owed money by Madoff even though nobody is admitting the incident happened, here’s the story:
The current inmate said Mr. Madoff’s assailant was a beefy man serving time for a drug conviction. The alleged assailant’s mother said in an interview her son had not mentioned any scuffle with Mr. Madoff but that he had been a body builder and held a black belt in Judo until he was injured in a shooting in 2002. While behind bars he has regained strength and gotten back into shape, she said.
The Bureau of Prisons said it investigated the incident, a process that included an interview with Mr. Madoff. “In December he told staff he was not assaulted, and an investigation was completed following his statements, which corroborated his statements,” said Traci Billingsley, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman. “Not one inmate has told staff he was assaulted.”
It’s not uncommon for prisoners to deny being beaten because they don’t want to risk a reputation as a snitch, according to prison experts and prisoner advocates.
This is not how this guy thought he would be spending his last years. Wonder if any of his friends who got rich off of him come to visit….
