If I wrote what I think about this guy, the computer screen would turn blue.
So I'll just leave the info from USA Today:
NEW YORK – Reviled Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff on Wednesday sought compassionate release from his 150-year prison term, saying he has terminal kidney failure and less than 18 months to live.
Madoff, held in federal custody since his 2009 guilty plea to charges that he stole roughly $20 billion from celebrities, charities, financial funds, and average investors, was admitted to the comfort care unit of a Butner, North Carolina, prison in July for "end-stage renal disease," attorney Brandon Sample wrote in a Manhattan federal court motion.
The disgraced 81-year-old ex-financier is confined to a wheelchair, suffers shortness of breath that requires him to get supplemental oxygen at night, and also has cardiovascular disease and has other health ailments, the filing said...
After initially refusing dialysis, the blood-filtering procedure commonly prescribed for kidney-failure patients, he agreed to start that treatment in December, the court filing said.
While stressing that Madoff doesn't dispute "the severity of his crimes" or "seek to minimize the suffering of his victims," the filing argued that the convicted scammer's conditions meet the guidelines for compassionate release.
