Madoff's Jail Friends: Mob Boss, Spy

Madoff may have burned his bridges in the free world, but behind bars he's got friends. A lawsuit filed by Bernie Madoff's victims has offered a surprising snapshot from the fallen Ponzi schemer's jailhouse life, including his social life. Court documents say Madoff bunks with a drug offender (Bernie sleeps on the bottom) and eats pizza cooked by a child molester. His closest friends are a pair of white-collar fast-talkers: Mob boss Carmine Persico and convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, whose late-'80s imprisonment for Israeli espionage ignited a media storm over what Pollard’s wife called Jewish-Americans’ “moral obligation” to Israel.

Sounds like a sitcom, or at the very least, the next season of Big Brother: Celebrity Felon Edition.

Maybe Madoff is getting up to speed on how to silence wetnesses Mafia style so his wife can continue to enjoy the lifestyle she has gotten used to.

Wetness is best uh, "silenced" by using a paper towel, or some other absorbent material.

Carmine Persico very smart man. Papers he filed with the court seeking a new trial were brilliantly written.

Are you for real? President Obama is trying to do the right thing, but people like you are blinded by hate.

Water seeks its own level- Bernie you are home forever!
The question is does Bernie do any work to start
compensating for his incredible crime?

So are we going to keep getting updates on Bernie and his playmates for the rest of his unnatural life? I guess once a celebrity, always a celebrity . . .

This sounds like a one-act play I saw once by Jean-Paul Sartre: "No Exit." The last lines were: "This is hell." "Well, let's get on with it."
