NEW YORK: Fallen financier Bernard Madoff has plunged from his Manhattan penthouse to the lower bunk of a cell he shares with a drug offender at a federal prison, where he eats pizza cooked by a child molester and hangs around with a mob boss and a convicted spy, according to legal papers filed Tuesday.
The snapshot of Madoff's prison life - and a contrasting picture of a former high-flying life laced with cocaine and salacious parties - are in a legal complaint filed by Burlingame, California-based lawyer Joseph Cotchett, who represents about a dozen victims of Madoff's massive investment Ponzi scheme.
