Bernard Madoff, convicted of swindling $65 billion through the biggest-ever Ponzi scheme, has told fellow prison inmates that he is dying of cancer, the New York Post reported on Monday, citing unnamed prison sources.

Madoff, 71, who since June has been serving a 150-year sentence at a North Carolina federal prison, has been telling fellow inmates he does not have much longer to live, the Post said, citing the unofficial and unusual sources.

The Post said there had been speculation that Madoff was suffering from pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Inmates said Madoff was taking "about 20 pills a day" and "not doing very well."

The Post said Madoff's lawyer did not return messages Sunday and had previously declined to answer questions about whether Madoff had cancer. Reuters could not reach Madoff lawyer Ira Sorkin immediately for comment.

The tabloid also reported Madoff has engaged in a number of surprising new activities with some unexpected social circles.

A shirtless Madoff has joined weekly "Native American religious purification ceremonies" that involve prayers, heated rocks to induce sweat and smoking from a ceremonial pipe, the paper said.

The paper also reported that various "gangs" at the prison are trying to recruit Madoff while some inmates regularly cook "sandwich wraps" for him at their cells.

I bet Madoff used that money to buy himself cancer so he could smoke weed from the "ceremonial pipe".

I used to ask people with "money" how someone with that much cash wouldn't just drop off the face of the Earth and they all gave me the same one word answer.

Maybe they'll let him out of Jail to die in the comfort of his family and friends at home like they did for that scumbag terrorist Abdel Basset al-Megrahi.

Madoff Doesn?t Have Cancer, Prison Authorities Say (Update1)

By David Glovin

Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Bernard Madoff, who is serving 150 years in prison for defrauding investors of billions of dollars, hasn?t been diagnosed with cancer and isn?t terminally ill as a newspaper reported, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.

The New York Post reported today that Madoff was dying from a cancer and that there were rumors he had pancreatic cancer.

?While the N.Y. Post story is full of inaccuracies, and we can?t specifically address all of them, we can tell you that Bernie Madoff is not terminally ill, and has not been diagnosed with cancer,? Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley said in a statement.

that shoulda probably been a tipoff that something was off.

i was going to say that he doesnt deserve pancreatic cancer, but on second thought that might be a suitable and unfun cancer for him to have.

patrick swayze doesnt seem to be having too much fun with it.
