Bernie died in prison because he didn't want to give them access to Worldcom so the story goes.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoBernie was released a month before dying. Don't ask me how I had this fact in the back of my head (I looked at Worldcom and Enron a few weeks ago for another HN story).
- athriren 1y agomadoff died in custody at FMC Butner. he was not released before he died.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoI think you are confusing Bernie Ebbers (Worldcom founder/CEO in Clinton Mississippi) with Bernie Madoff (big ponzy scam in NYC)? Yes, they are both named Bernie.
- athriren 1y agoyou are right, i did conflate the two. apologies.
