New York Post ^ | August 9, | Yaron Steinbuch

Bernie Madoff had some of his toes amputated, was missing eight teeth and wildly hallucinated before he died from kidney disease, a new report says.

The notorious 82-year-old con from New York City was serving a 150-year sentence for his $65 billion Ponzi scheme when he reportedly refused dialysis and died April 14 at a federal prison hospital in Butner, NC.

About a week before he succumbed, the reviled former financier screamed for assistance, and when a nurse responded, he stared at the floor, wiggled his left foot and yelled, “Help! I hate this ******* place!,” according to Market Watch.

Sounds like Bernie cost the taxpayers a LOT of dough in his last couple years in the slammer.

Heck, he could have been President.

No worse than Biden and the Federal Government.

FedGov = The Only Legal Ponzi Scheme

I doubt that he suffered as much as a lot of the people he swindled.

He deserved far worse. Sometimes karma just doesn't get it done.

Let Bernie Madoff be a lesson in how things can go.

His Sons Mark and Andrew Madoff both died within 6 years of his sentence for a 65 billion Ponzi Scheme. Bernie died while pleading for years to be released for better medical care.

65 Billions in a Ponzi scheme will make you many enemies.

Exactly. I will not rejoice over his suffering. His victims have my sympathy though even then, only to a certain degree. A lot of those who handed their money over to him did so believing they were part of some elitist group who because of their wealth, had special access to a guy that could bring them even more wealth. Greed isn't something I have a lot of sympathy for.

“Greed isn’t something I have a lot of sympathy for”

Yep. I’ll save quoting scripture only to say the Bible is pretty clear on management of money. We are stewards of it, nothing more.
