He was serving a 150-year prison sentence in a North Carolina federal facility for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
In 2009 he pleaded guilty to 11 crimes related to swindling billions of dollars from thousands of investors from the 1970s until late 2008.
In February 2020, Madoff sought an early release from prison saying that he was dying from kidney disease. The request was denied.
