• Madoff, 71, suffered a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face after he was reportedly attacked last December by a prisoner who believed Madoff owed him money.
• After pleading guilty last year to running an enormous Ponzi scheme which tricked investors out of billions of dollars, Madoff is serving a 150-year-jail sentence at Butner federal prison in North Carolina.
• According to the Wall Street Journal, Madoff’s assailant was a “beefy” body builder with a drug conviction and a black belt in judo.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy…but I wonder if the assailant’s description was made to sound ‘extra-tough’ to generate sympathy for Madoff.
