Madoff moved from federal prison to medical center
Source: AP

BUTNER, N.C. – Bernard Madoff has been moved from a North Carolina federal prison to a prison medical facility.

Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley said Wednesday that Madoff was moved Friday.

She says the bureau won't publicly discuss the reasons for an inmate's transfer.

Madoff has been imprisoned since March. That's when he pleaded guilty to fraud charges and admitted cheating thousands of investors out of billions of dollars.

12. If you go back and read the reports of Ken Lays death - at the end of the week he'd have
Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 06:29 PM by superconnected
had to pay millions back, and he was supposed to turn himself in, and his private doctor was on vacation with him - a ski vacation in Colorado and attended him when he "died", and how fast the family cremated the body so there was no evidence, you'd see that at the time ken lay "died", even the media was questioning it. It was very convenient. What many people don't realize was so was Jacksons Death. 750 million he didn't have to pay back to Bank of America, convenient. That's why these things get questioned.

13. Ken Lay, JFK, and Elvis all live in a bunker deep below the Earth's crust..
Where they right songs, formate political policy, and make large financial transactions. Tupac also lays down the beat down there.

6. Well it won't be long now
before he is sunning on the beach over in Dubai somewhere. If reports are true what has been said about our economy then we know that twenty four percent of Americas wealth did not vanish into thin air. We know someone has it but, who. Greedy corporate motherfuckers with fat cat bonuses, military contracts to electrocute soldiers to death just by taking a shower,ridiculous wars with no benefit, oil barons middle east and domestic alike,medical theft on all levels from medication to mis diagnosis, hedge funds, predatory lenders,job outsourcing,corporate farming,lobbyist,senators,congressmen,and anyone else who can make America part of the ponzi scheme.

14. His ilk?
Bernie was a life-long dem. Probably not out of ideal agreement though. Most likely due to his Jewish ancestry.

17. Will it be a surgically changed feature?
Like a new face?

He might need to use a new face, cause I'm betting the one he has now has been dated a few times by his prison mates.
