After Scuffle, Madoff Escapes From Prison And Is ‘On The Lam’

Following reports that he was beaten up in prison, Bernard Madoff has taken justice into his own hands. Using a fake ID with Prisoner # 4012010 instead of his actual identification, Madoff has escaped from prison. The warden says that history’s greatest Ponzi schemer is “on the lam.” Federal corrections officials say that they are taking “all necessary steps” to recapture the fugitive. 

Prosecutors announced that they will “definitely” seek to add more prison time to Madoff’s 150 year term as a result of this new crime. On the other hand, the SEC dismisses reports that it had been warned that Madoff had a fake ID, though it promised to look into the situation and issue a report.
