ICHEOKU says one of his two sons committed suicide and the other died of cancer of lymphoma following the financial scandal which sent him to prison, the collapse of his Ponzi scheme. His wife abandoned him; he was a billionaire but literally lost everything and now his life too, just 12 years into his 150 years prison sentence.
Whether it was worth it, swindling thousands of people of their $19 billion in is a question which is now too late to ask him. Bernard Madoff was 82 years old and died in prison of kidney and heart disease related ailments. He must be the saddest man alive in prison and possibly regretted not having read nor heeded the admonition in Ecclesiastes 1:2 as his greed propelled him to such a shameful end. May his soul now rest.
