Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernie Madoff seeks release from 150-year prison term, says 18 months left to liveNEW YORK – Convicted 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.
File photo taken in 2009 shows Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff leaving Manhattan Federal court in New York City after a court hearing."The nature of Mr. Madoff's serious medical conditions coupled with the effects of incarceration will only cause his overall physical condition to worsen as his illnesses progress and his death becomes ever more inevitable," Sample wrote.
The court that sentenced him represents Madoff's last chance for end-of-life freedom, wrote Sample, who noted in the filing that Scotland granted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi compassionate release for his crimes after he developed terminal prostate cancer.
