Bernard Madoff chats up prison-mate Jonathan Pollard
Bernard Madoff, who engineered the largest Ponzi scheme in history which bilked investors for some $19 billion, has adjusted to life behind bars by chatting up, among others, prison-mate Jonathan Pollard, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Madoff, who has served five months of a 150-year prison term for masterminding the massive fraud, is believed to have acclimated himself well while assimilating into the Butner, North Carolina correctional facility, the same prison which houses convicted embezzlers, bank robbers, spies, and drug dealers, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
According to the Journal, Madoff scrubs pots and pans in the prison kitchen and spends his free time playing bocce, chess, and checkers with fellow inmates, a far cry from his previous life in the lap of luxury.
Like all inmates, Madoff wakes up at 6 A.M. and reports for work by 7:30. The jobs in prison include groundskeeper, plumber, or kitchen crew, while salaries range from 12 cents to $1.15 per hour, according to the Journal.

Only 149 years and 7 months to go. We don’t think he’ll make it.

Bocce, chess, checkers? What about breaking some rocks.

While Bernie and Pollard play bend over and grab the soap (it’s my turn this time), Jose Padilla, accused, tortured and never yet to see the light of blind justice sleeps with a bag over his head and a stun belt jockey strap in some slime oozing dungeon.
Madoff has been found guilty of a 60 plus Billion Dollar Fraud. Pollard’s crimes cost American lives and a Trillion of US stakeholder assets.But both are grab arsing and stroking soap in a minimum security hotel. I bet both are still snorting coke like they did on the outside.
It seems justice gives those who actually commit crimes a hand job, while those who are simply accused for the purpose of being a poster boy for the fraud and embezzlement guised as the “War On Terror” are ignored.
A district court has allowed Padilla’s case to move forward. Somehow the sanctimonious inbreds at Judicial Watch think this is a breach of separation of powers , ie – that a president should be allowed to be judge jury and executioner and to h*ll with the constitution.
On another note of carnival justice, Obama’s DoJ under the helm of Israeli hideaway Marc Rich pardoner, Holder, is trying to get the torture memo case against their fellow fascist in arms, Yoo, thrown out.
It don’t get more Oceania than this folks.
Hoax and chains. Thanks George W. Obama! Thanks a lot!

Sounds like someone needs to study the history of the criminal system, and get over their innocence…
