The 71-year-old is reportedly taking 20 pills a day to treat his cancer and has told other inmates that he does not have long to live.

“Lawyers for Madoff have not yet responded to the reports, although they earlier declined to respond to questions on the matter when speculation arose earlier this year that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer. His wife, Ruth, has also declined to answer questions regarding the matter.”

“Madoff is currently serving a 150-year sentence in Butner, N.C., for swindling $65 billion from thousands of investors. He pleaded guilty to 11 felony charges in March and was sentenced in June.”

It is not been stated what from of cancer Madoff is suffering from, but there have been reports that he has been attending “Native American religious purification ceremonies” that use heat rocks and ceremonial pipes.

“Madoff is also being recruited by various prison “gangs,” and some prisoners have been cooking him sandwiches in their cells.”
