Bernie Madoff Reportedly Gets In First Prison Fight!

The Post has another story about Ponzi king Bernard Madoff's life at the Butner Correctional Complex! Unlike its earlier report that the 71-year-old was making friends with the homosexual inmates, participating in Native American sweat lodge ceremonies, and dying of cancer, this one says Madoff got physical...over the stock market.

According to the Post, Madoff "got into a heated debate over the state of the market with another senior-citizen jailbird. The shouting match got so heated that the inmate pushed Madoff, who shoved back harder with both hands, causing his attacker to stumble. As the attacker tried to stand up straight, Madoff hovered over him red-faced and glaring, eyewitnesses said." Because the other inmate "went chicken and took off" which meant Madoff could get some cred amongst his fellow inmates.

One inmate said, "I didn't think Bernie had it in him. He got the best of him; he was really aggressive, and the other guy was in shock that he fought back," adding that if a guard had seen the scuffle, they would have ended up in the "hole." But it was all better by the next day—apparently the two men had made up.
