COMMENTS: Not Exactly the Big House
Bernard Madoff continues to generate buzz, even from his jail cell. NBC's Anne Thompson reported on the implications of the phrase in his guilty plea that "to the best of my recollection my fraud began in the early '90s." That would mean, Thompson told us, that his Palm Beach mansion, purchased in 1994, might be vulnerable to forfeiture but his Manhattan penthouse, owned since 1984, would be immune. CBS had Armen Keteyian paint a picture of the medium security federal penitentiary--"not exactly the Big House"--that awaits the disgraced financier: "two man cells…lights on and breakfast at 6am…lights off at 10pm…lunch at 11am…dinner at 5pm…five days a week work…hours and hours of mandatory headcounts and mindnumbing routine."
