CONVICTED fraudster Bernie Madoff, who is currently serving a 150-year sentence in a US jail, was bashed by a fellow inmate in December, a report says.
A former inmate told The Wall Street Journal said the fight was centered on money the attacker thought he was owed by Madoff. He said a prison officer found Madoff lying wounded on a floor.
Madoff was treated for a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face, according to another prisoner currently serving time on drug charges.
Madoff pleaded guilty last year to tricking thousands of people out of billions of dollars in one of history's biggest financial scams.

Bernie Madoff was attacked in prison by a fellow inmate who thought the fraudster owed him money.
Good for him! The mega-fraudster deserved it!
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time......But there are probably worse things inmates can do to you bernie so be thankfull you only got a bloody nose......
He was a fool for lending him money.
Well at least he didn’t “fall off his bunk” this time
“.......Madoff was treated for a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face”......
Well this sounds like he got beat up pretty bad! Fractured ribs too....
Now, if they’d just put him in a cell with “Big Bubba” who hasn’t seen a woman in 25 years.............
*sniff sniff*
/dabs eyes with tissue
hahahahahahaha
Sorry, no sympathy here.
He will continue to “enjoy” hell on earth for the rest of his days. To bad, so sad.

If he were a congressman, he’d be held in high regard by the DNC.
Uh, guys...we don’t sentence people to prison so they can be beaten up and sexually assaulted...these jokes aren’t so funny.
I know it’s not funny, but at least the Ponzi scheme con artist gets some attention once in a while.
I agree. The beating and comments uncalled for.
You know, I think you are right. Prison can be heaven for some, hell for others. May I suggest getting rid of prisons and in their place use the following punishments (depending on the nature and severity of the crime):
1) Fines
2) Up to three days in the public stocks (think of the Pilgrams)
3) Public flogging
4) Permanent exile
5) Public execution
For petty crimes like shoplifting, make the perp stand on a busy street holding a sign saying "I am a shoplifter. I steal from YOU for fun and profit."
Just a suggestion. Prisons breed more crime. They serve as recruiting centers for militant Islam, gangs of all races, and as learning centers for professional criminals. We should definitely get rid of all prisons and use the old fashioned penalties. They work.
Interesting ideas, all, and I agree that the prison system in America is a disgrace and must be reformed. Here’s my idea:
Take all the violent offenders, all at once, and send them to some remote spot in, say, Alaska, say, 100 miles or so from the nearest civilization. Then make them BUILD their prison, GROW their own food, MAKE their own clothes, etc. etc. Mandate the death penalty for attempted escape. What do you think?
...you forgot to mention that they must hand feed the polar bears by hand.
is this the first or second incident
of this type?
you haven't been to a prison or taken care of convicts. The prisoner with the " heart of gold ,Mogan Freeman/ shawshank redemption" cr#p doesn't exist. By the time you get a state or federal prison sentence you " deserve" a lot more than a good beat down or hokey-pokey.
madoff is lucky and so is his wife that he didn't rip off somebody with real muscle.
