Bernie Madoff; Prisoner No. 61727-054

"Fuck my victims,” he said, loud enough for other inmates to hear. “I carried them for twenty years, and now I’m doing 150 years."
Prison life seems to suit Bernie Madoff. No longer does he have to live the lie. “I wish they caught me six years ago, eight years ago,” he said in a little-noticed interview.

In the context of prison, he isn’t a cancer on society; he’s a success, admired for his vast accomplishments. “A hero,” wrote Robert Rosso, a lifer, on a website he managed to found called convictinc .com. “He’s arguably the greatest con of all time.”
