"Fuck my victims. I carried them for 20 years..." Bernie Madoff states

[~~whimsy~~]

Bernie Madoff has a message from prison: F- - - you.

Madoff, 71, has become a folk hero to most of his fellow inmates -- but when one inmate lashed out at the disgraced Ponzi schemer for his $65 billion theft, Madoff barked: "F- - - my victims. I carried them for 20 years, and now I'm doing 150 years," New York magazine reports in its issue on sale tomorrow.

When another convict told Madoff that stealing from old ladies was "kind of f- - -ed up," Madoff coolly replied, "Well, that's what I did."

Another former convict told the magazine that Madoff once said he could spin a globe, put his finger anywhere on it, "and chances are he had a house there or he'd been there."

Yet another prisoner recalled watching a "60 Minutes" segment about Madoff with Madoff, and remarking, admiringly, that he'd bilked his clients for millions.

Madoff corrected him: "No, billions."

His massive scheme has some inmates virtually worshipping him as a criminal legend who ultimately wound up a success, according to their twisted worldview.

"If I'd lived that well for 70 years, I wouldn't care that I ended up in prison," one said.

He has since made 14 cents an hour sweeping the commissary floor of the federal pen in Butner, NC.

Colleagues, lawyers and inmates tell the magazine that Inmate No. 61727-054 generally seems content. His cellblock is known as "Camp Fluffy," and prisoners have use of a gym, library, pool tables and a sweat lodge. There are no bars on the windows.

Put him in a real prison and see how good he has it.

Well cocky when free. Good to see he hasn't changed though if he went to a jail with bars maybe he'd sing a different tone.

 

[Doc Scurlock]

You know this is really hardly a punishment. Like one of the quotes in the article said, "If I'd lived that well for 70 years, I wouldn't care that I ended up in prison." I mean you've pretty much lived through the best years of your life like a king.

Your right Whims, put the fucker in a maxi max see how much he likes it. This just goes to show ya how fucked up our judicial system is.

 

[roronoa3000]

He would never say such a thing!

 

[24788]

Guys he was on wall street. He's not a criminal just a normal person there.

100% serious when I say that. It's the way our system is ran.

 

[Facetious]

Did Helen Thomas have an acct w/ Madeoff by Chance?

 

[D-rock]

I'm sure by "carried them" he really means, "Made them think they had funds that never existed, while I spent all their investment on myself".

Suppose the did not to 'them', the customers, but 'them', the billions. And man did he carry them.

Here's a list of his victims:

Wow.

 

[CurtJa]

I've always thought his victims should get a "Murder on the Orient Express" type shot at him.

what he said

Uh, what he did was not only unethical, but also in violation of the law. That makes him a criminal. I get that you're saying that it's normal on Wall Street, but that would make all of them criminals, not let all of them off the hook.

Wow.

So Madoff was Robin Hood? I mean, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He was poor before his scheme, right? How ironic that we don't tolerate what he did but when the government does it, that's just fine.

Sorry...I don't follow the analogy or comparison.

I did not say that.

He is a criminal and if you took a little time to go through his victim list, you will some small town pesnion funds etc. That is horrible, ruining those.

I do not feel too sorry, though for hium wrecking some billionaires down to multimillionaire status, but if he would have transfered their cash to those pension funds, I would have applauded him, there you would have been right.

But as he did it all, he is a criminal.

And rapists are rapists, murderers are murderers, child molesters are child molesters. Do they get a pass too because they are what they are? And that's what they do? Please. You don't have to hurt someone physically to hurt someone.

 

[CadillacD]

It's funny how angry this guy makes people, including myself! You would think that more people would try to celebrate him for almost being a hero for fucking over so many rich and pretentious dicks.

 

[Rekrul]

Let's hope one of his victims who is in jail returns the favor with a broom stick in the showers.

 

[Smallville417]

He sure doesn't sound as if he is suffering in jail.

 

[Hot Mega]

He sure doesn't sound as if he is suffering in jail.

Not really necessary. His punishment is giving up his freedom for the rest of his life.

I know I wouldn't be interested in that lifestyle.:o
