Bernie Madoff, the hedge fund manager who fleeced Americans of $65 billion in the world's largest Ponzi scheme, continues to do business in prison. But instead of playing the stock market, he is selling hot chocolate.
Madoff is also putting his stock market smarts to work, giving at least one other inmate financial advice when he was considering buying stock. "The guy later said he wished he had followed Bernie's advice closer," Fishman said.
But the funniest story Fishman told was about the time Madoff monopolized the prison's supply of hot chocolate and sold it in the prison yard at a profit.
So, in case you were wondering if Madoff was still a greedy bastard, using his smarts to fleece the little guy, the answer is a resounding yes.
