Madoff Denied Bail in Ponzi Scheme Case |
|
Bernie Madoff has been denied bail until his sentencing for pleading guilty to securities fraud, perjury, and other charges after defrauding thousands of investors out of billions of dollars, in many cases life savings. While Madoff was out of jail on $10 million bail with the condition of being under house arrest before his plea, Judge Denny Chin decided that Madoff’s age (he is 70), his considerable assets, and the possibility of up to 150 years in prison heightened Madoff’s flight risk.
