Apparently died of pancreatic cancer in prison. Just announced on Coast to Coast.
Is this on the level?
U.S. Denies Reports Of Madoff Cancer

George Noory opened the show with the news. Not sure what newswire he got it off of. He mentioned that the family suspects foul play.
if he had any appeals going, now he'll be exonerated.....
he died quick just like that other convicted banker felon.....
He would've used the cancer bit for a defense, don't ya think?
No news on anything of his passing.....yet.......
What a shame. A shame the folks he ripped off didn’t get to dispose of him instead.
Haven’t heard on the Midnight Radio Network yet, AKA Midnight Truckers Radio Network.
Guess he didn’t care, now he took all the info to the grave.
the Russian mafia is deeply saddened
and probably unconvinced
If it turns out to be a hoax, I’ll ask the mods to pull the thread.
If he had been sentenced to death, he’d still be alive.
I’m still searching, but nothing yet on Google News, Twitter or Reuters.
Breaking news.
If true.
Convicts do not die in prison, they die on the way to the hospital.
U.S. Denies Reports Of Madoff Cancer
The New York Post reported that Bernie Madoff has cancer and has been telling fellow inmates that he doesn’t have long to live. Prison officials say Madoff doesn’t have cancer and isn’t terminally ill. Who to believe? (By Louis Lanzano — Associated Press)

So, his life sentence was carried out. Somehow I think his victims will feel cheated.
Not on Drudge yet, if true. For now, I suspect a Madoff hoax. He might be popping sugar pills (or rolled bit of bread) and telling whoppers to keep everyone at bay.
If he were Michael Jackson, he’d be undead and still not buried.
I will still look for confirmation
