I know it would be hard on Bernie Madoff in jail. I mean he is old and evil and will probably not fair well with the criminal element in the Bronx or Midtown holding jails.

But...
.
On top of bilking tons of people out of, like $50 Billion dollars, he is now sending out MILLIONS of dollars of diamond watches, broaches, bracelets Tiffany and Cartier junk through the mail to hide them from prosecutors.
.
And when he was found out he claimed they were (wait for it) Hanukah presents! Like your non-jewish friends normally get 3 diamonds watches at Hanukah. Liar!
.
NOW they have found $173,000,000 in checks he was ready to mail out when they arrested him.
.
Rumor has it that he is allowed "home parole", in a 7 million dollar penthouse on the Upper East Side, because he was cooperating with the fuzz (isn't that a great 1970's word .. "fuzz"). But his "hanukah" presents tend to say "once a shit-faced, self-obsessed, lying crook with no moral compass, well then always one."

Time to get friendly with the other New York area crooks and thieves - albeit it none so brazen as you and none who actually took down charities - but crooks all the same. Maybe you guys could teach each other things.
