Madoff, who is serving his 150-year prison sentence for the $65 billion fraud, seems to be doing hard time quite comfortably.
In the podcast series, he boasted that his cell doors “are not locked at night,” the Guardian reported.
“I have a pretty big picture window — [but] you can’t open it,” Madoff said.
“Ponzi Supernova” is made up of hours of never-before-heard interviews.
The first four episodes debuted Thursday on Audible, and the final two will be released in the coming weeks.
Fishman said inmates ask Madoff for financial advice.
But he’s been treated just like any other con, too.
The former billionaire was slapped by a fellow prisoner for changing the TV channel, one inmate claimed.
Madoff also divulged how he pulled off the scheme.
As Madoff’s firm became successful, the banks that wouldn’t work with him had a change of heart.
“All of a sudden, these banks give you the time of day. They’re willing to give you a billion dollars.
I had all of these major banks coming down and entertaining me. It is a head trip,” he told Fishman.
Madoff also says he wishes he had been caught earlier — but Fishman believes the only remorse he feels is for himself.
“He takes the position that he helped a lot of people make a lot of money, and that he got trapped by them,” Fishman said. “His remorse has a lot to do with how he destroyed his career and his family, and a lot less to do with the fates of his victims.”
