Madoff, 81, suffers from terminal kidney failure and has a fewer than 18 months to live, according to the filing from his lawyer. A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in Manhattan, whose office prosecuted Madoff, declined to comment.

Why not have “ The SLUG “ spend his last months on earth with some of the families whose lives “ The SLUG “ has ruined so that he could live like a king?
Nope he gets to die in prison like all those convicted of crimes. He earned it.
Maybe ask us again in 17 months.
Sorry Bern, burn.
If poor prisoners get released for such things, then perhaps.
Did he expect to come out of prison after his sentence?
Oh well. You were sentenced to die in prison.
Let him stay there as he transitions to hell.
Let him rot from the inside out
Cremate him and store his ashes in the prison basement until the end of his sentence.
People who he robbed are never going to get their money.
He showed no mercy to any of his victims among which were many truly vulnerable people including elderly people and charities that were crippled financially because of him. So I am of the opinion that his dying in a cold prison cell is just. May God judge him appropriately.
Note, it's not a terminal disease. If he gets out early he will have a kidney transplant the next day. I bet a donor is already lined up. SneakyMadoff
Hell no !
A 150 year sentence means that he was expected to die in prison. Why should that change now?
poor people die in prison often.
How about he dies in prison instead?
He misses his gold toilet.
C_Rich75 Get your ex to pay back all the money you all stole and will talk about letting you out.
Euthanize him.
Greedy thief
He is due out in 2039. Let’s shave 40 years off. He can be released in 2099
Why any consideration for special treatment? White? Rich? Connected?
No. No. No.
Let him out. Compassionate releases should be granted more often.
No way
No! Get him treatment but he remains locked up!
Stay in jail, CROOK took people for $Bs, BooHoo, Bernie Madoff!
Sorry, you'll die in prison because of your greed and the people who took their life because of it
18 months to live ? Let him out at 17 months from now
I wonder if this is going to be another miracle recovery like Ernest Saunders
Why not? If a crime boss can still sit in the White House after bribing a foreign leader and people like Jamie Dimon suffered no consequences after causing millions to lose their retirements and life savings in 2018, than this guy can be let out.
No!!
No , he ruined many lives. Many of the people he conned are suffering financially in their retirement. Let the SOB rot in jail.
Terms of release: - House arrest alone in a shed next to a lake in the middle of no where. - Address sent to victims' who lost their entire life saving.
Will we offer compassion to all others in prison? If not, he should serve his time.
If Rush is any indication, I see a Medal of Honor in his future
Uhhhh. Maybe the largest illegal Ponzi scheme or the largest non- government, financial institution, insurance company Ponzi scheme. Or maybe Power has done such a good job convincing people what is good and bad that no one understands the truth.
No, No, No, and NO!
Pay back every cent and then we can have a hearing
He needs to Rot in Prison until his trip to Hell is Booked..
Nope.
His son who died by suicide , after Bernie’s imprisonment, is waiting for him. Go Bernie Madoff. Go already.
How many of his elderly victims died because of his scam? Wish no one ill but he did the crime do the time.
Cut the guy a break and reduce his sentence by half.
Cant do the time, dont do the crime
What did he think 150 years meant. Did he really think he was going to walk out alive?
Don’t think so. He should die alone in prison. He deserves that.
Tough luck
Nope
That's not how it works
Thousands of people die in jail with less decency that he will get so no you don’t get that privilege
Plenty of non-violent, poor people offender stay in jail their whole life. Sorry, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy.
I feel as sad for him as I do watching Weinstein limp to the courthouse. NOT.
Your son committed suicide for your shame. Stay in jail
NO
And why not early release all prisoners with ails?
Someone who stole hard working people’s pensions does not deserve such compassion
If granted, will it set a precedence for all convicts that become terminally ill?
Too bad,you ruined many lives
ROT IN PRISON, CONMAN & THIEF! You knew what you were doing, when you did it. Don’t do the crime if you are unwilling to do the time. (saving this post for when Trump is bending over in the shower)
Buh-bye, Felicia!
Nope
No. Die alone and afraid. That's the point of 150 years.
May he rot in hell.
Given heinous nature of his crimes he must remain incarcerated for life!
People are dying in prison after conviction of possession of marijuana, and other victimless crimes....
He can leave early if he pays back all his victims in full!
Only after he makes whole all who he ripped off.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for him?... His victims won't...
No other person having health issues and serving jail time or prison get leniency, so why should he get privileged.
Let him rot in jail
No
Yeah, let him off after 100.
I won’t believe he’s dying until he’s dead.
Eff BM, from a Mets fan.
bollox .. let him die inside, people lost their lifes savings with that man
And I thought the banks were the largest ponzi schemes... creating literally creating money out of thin air.
Another old white man destroys people's lives, then begs for compassion. A story as old as time. FuqM
Boo woo
Sure after both his sons committed suicide because of him
Compassionate release? For someone who had zero compassion for his victims? No. He deserves to die in a cold prison cell.
So what? People die in prison every day.
Maybe Trump will give him a medal!
Naw dude
If you get a 150 year sentence it is implied that you will die in prison
Too bad
Many thoughts on how to stop the pain....
if he knows any secrets about Trump, then the pain will be over soon. A disconnected camera, lights out for a few minutes and then 'oops'.
So? Plenty of criminals die in prison...
Dying in prison is kind of the point of the 150 years, Bazza
He thought he will live through 159...the judge wanted him to die in jail n there is where he belongs
Do others who commit crimes lesser than this get out? Probably not. So what do you do Sorry man, u did the crime, do the time.
strange that a lots of villains presently suffering from poor health
Either pay up or get released when in a body bag.
thoughts and prayers
Give him a year to die with family.
Those of us who did not steal as much money as we could from as many people as we were able to have more say in where we choose to die than those who did.
first Rush Limbaugh now Madoff ? Rotten and decaying - return to maker?
The court should knock off 10 years from the sentence for humanitarian reason.
Rot until you go to Hell.
The whole fucking point of a 150 year sentence is so he dies in prison.
The only thing that shocks me here is that Trump hasn't already commuted his sentence.
Then he can go die in jail! Not our problem We should be stricter towards criminals No liberty for crooks!
What about all the people who died due to his schemes.
Bye
would this be like Ernest Saunders and his Alzheimer’s?
No!!!!!!
All are equal under the law, some are more equal than others...🤔
Largest Ponzi schemes Lol apparently you havent met Lebanese politicians
What do the doctors say? What is his life expectancy?
Hmm... early release? Only if he agrees to accept the Medal of Freedom once he’s out.
Sooooo...you can die in prison right?!?!
Nah, he can stay
That doesn’t seem like 150 years yet.
So... die then and decrease the surplus population.
I’m crying crocodile tears. No, not an option. Stay in and serve your time.
Too bad
People in Hell want ice water.
there's no parole in the federal system
Trump's next pardon.
Nope. As many people as he screwed over... NO.
Sad. But, no.
If he dies he gets off early Sounds fair to me
Sounds like he needs a Medal of Honor.
If Madoff refunds $ to victims.....sure If Madoff refuses.....let him do an Epstein
so his victim have died of shock losing their lives savings ...and he gets to request an early release cause he is dying? hehehehe ok. over to the solicitors to argue this out lol
You don’t get a pass because your dying - 🤷♂️🤷♂️-
No.
We are all dying...stop with the woe is me BS. You did the crime, got caught, now you have to serve your time.
Let his victims decide
I wouldn’t
No
No.
Nope
One should maybe ask all the people who lost their existence because of him whether they forgive him and give him the mercy to die with family.
Let him rot he destroyed a lot of lives with his ponzi scheme.
We’re all dying
Nah.
No
If he's dying...wouldn't that...wouldn't that be the same as early release...l...I don't understand. AskingForAFriend...who says she's confused.
Why? Let him rot in prison.
Let him rot in the cell
Tough shit, Bernard.
Boo. Hoo.
I don't care!
Show him the same sympathy that he showed all those people he ripped off for billions.
No, do the crime, do the time
Madoff: “But, Trump.”
We are all dying, criminals don’t get to choose where. Such is life.
Equal justice under the law. How many other people are let out because they’re dying?
What did he do again?
Tough S H I T, we are all dying! Stay in jail
Nope.
Think about how many lives he ruined. Jail is just fine for him.
Anyone who thinks Trump won’t let him out hasn’t been paying attention the last three years.
Until you've paid off..all those you ripped off...
Plenty of guilty people die in prison. Madoff shouldn't get privilege just because he's white with money.
Nope. Nice try though.
Release him in 18 months. There you go: early release is done.
Dying to make you BIG 💰 if you follow his wealth program?
Trump will give him a Medal of Freedom if Bernie will share the $$.
Many of his victims were wiped out. What happened to them? Where was Madoff’s remorse, contrition and full restitution? No pity for that cheat.
People die in prison all the time, so...no.
So the news hasn't been all bad the last few days.
Tell him wait until 139 years later!
NO !
😂😂😂😂😂what a joke. Let him die like in jail like other prisoners do. Who he thinks he is?
Hell no
No.
Well he is technically gettingnoff early...if he croaks within a year then hisblife sentance ia done. End of story next
Hopefully they let his just die on the floor of his cell.
No thanks Bernie. Rot in jail and die. A 'valued investor.'
He needs to not pass 'GO' and 'STAY' in jail!
Why am I thinking of Amy Klobuchar? Can anyone tell me?
Maybe he'll get a medal from trump.
Die!
Trumps new SEC chief
No, and no.
Finally
No. Next case.
Karma isn't.
Good hope it's painful. No release. No meds.
maybe a Trump pardon? He seems like a Trump kinda guy
thoughts and prayers
“Do it for me, I’m rich”
lol
Die in jail
Let him rot.
Or a presidential medal of freedom? SOTUS
