Apparently, Bernie Madoff does, in fact, have a heart.
The multi-billion-dollar Ponzi monster suffered a heart
attack last month while serving the fourth year of his 150-year sentence in a
North Carolina federal prison, according to a report.
Federal prison officials declined to comment on Madoff’s
medical history or condition, but did confirm to CNBC that he is back in Butner
Federal Correctional Complex, a medium security facility 25 miles northwest of
Raleigh.
“He’s currently at our facility in Butner,” prison spokesman
Chris Burke said. “For any inmate we wouldn’t comment, due to our own privacy
regulations and federal [medical disclosure] law,” he said.
Madoff told CNBC in an email that he was hospitalized last
month at Duke University Medical Center.
His former lawyer, Ira Lee Sorkin, said only, “I no longer
represent him, although I am in contact with the family, and a long time ago
the family decided I can’t comment either on the record or off the record in
any form.”
Madoff, 75, also has stage-four kidney disease but is not
undergoing dialysis.
