Bernie Madoff dies: Mastermind of the nation’s biggest investment fraud was 82

By Securities Docket on April 14, 2021, 9:52 am

Bernard Madoff, mastermind of the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history, ripping off tens of thousands of clients of as much as $65 billion, died early Wednesday, The Associated Press reported. He was 82.

Madoff died at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, apparently from natural causes, the AP reported, citing an unidentified person familiar with the matter. He would have turned 83 on April 29.

Madoff was serving a 150-year sentence at the prison, where he had been treated for what his attorney called terminal kidney disease.
