It seems that after 5 years in prison, Madoff has decided that he should not be the only one to blame for committing the biggest Ponzi scheme in history and is willing to speak to anyone and everyone about what happened.In two hours spent with Madoff, at the medium security prison in Butner, North Carolina, he was down-to-earth, pleasant and very congenial.
Wearing beige pants and a shirt with the same colored belt,Shop Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes on the myshoe123 and get the Real tiffanyjewelry now. part of the prison uniform, Madoff looked good and very healthy for a man who just turned 70 in May. He did not have the signs of a man who was distraught and said he was fortunate to end up at the Butner facility, which can be described as similar to a camp with barbed wires.
“This place has a reputation of being very laid back,” said Madoff.Madoff said he had recently spoken to Bloomberg and was helping the Treasury to seek out fraud on Wall Street. He’s also spoken to CNN and Fox Business since his May 2 interview with MarketWatch.
What seemed most striking about Madoff was that he was very eager to tell his side of the story and lay blame on others who pushed him into operating the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme. At one point, he grew upset that his line of explanation wasn’t getting through.Madoff did take some time to talk about life in prison.The hardest part is being apart from his family, he said.
His wife Ruth no longer speaks to him, following his son Andy’s wishes. Madoff says Andy is very upset with him and refuses to talk to him. Madoff’s other son, Mark, committed suicide following revelations of his father’s Ponzi scheme.
His brother, Peter Madoff, who was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in Madoff’s fraud,You may see many other fake websites posting available cheaprolexwatches, be aware of fake retailers. won’t speak to him either. Madoff joked that his brother, who is in prison in South Carolina, is in a much better facility but because he himself has been sentenced to 150 years, he’ll never be able to go to that kind of prison.
While prisoners can use the phone for 15 minutes at a time and have up to 300 minutes a month to talk, Madoff says he doesn’t.
“I don’t use the phone hardly at all,” said Madoff. “I don’t have anyone to talk to.”The only family members who visit Madoff are the daughters of his wife’s niece, who go to college nearby, he said. No-one calls him and no-one else visits.
His cellmate in prison, who Madoff describes as a very nice guy and intelligent,We invite you to experience choose pnikeairshoes for you. is a 50-year-old Mexican-American. Madoff says their “private” cell has a “nice window” overlooking the prison courtyard and has a twin-bunk bed, desk and chair. Prisoners are allowed to move around one hour a day, he says.
Madoff says he is besieged constantly for advice on how to invest in the stock market. “Even the guards are asking me what they should invest in,” he said. Fellow prisoners has asked that he teach a course about investing and finance, “but the prison was afraid that the media would say Madoff is teaching criminals how to invest,” he said.One of the most popular ones are highheelshoes, replica Rolex watches illegally produced copies of authentic Rolex watches.
For the first four years in prison, Madoff worked in the commissary, a canteen where prisoners can buy food and snacks once a week. Now he describes himself as the “communications director” because in his new job he takes care of computers and telephones. Even in prison he seems to enjoy elevating his position.

Prisoners are awake by 6.30 a.m. Work starts at 8 a.m. Lunch is at 11 a.m. And dinner is promptly at 5:30 p.m. every day.Madoff says he spends his days reading about Wall Street’s pioneers and is into biographies right now.
During the discussion, Madoff talked a lot about the old days on Wall Street when he was hobnobbing with major-players like Goldman’s Robert Rubin, the SEC’s Mary Schapiro and Arthur Levitt and countless others. He repeatedly talked about how many boards and commissions he participated in and how many important people he met on Wall Street. And he was not afraid to talk about his lavish lifestyle at the time, including playing golf at the Palm Beach Country Club in Florida.
Maybe Madoff talks about those times so fondly because he knows, like us, he will never see those days again.
