The Wall Street Journal is reporting three witnesses have confirmed the jailed financier Bernie Madoff was assaulted by another prisoner last year. Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence at a North Carolina prison after pleading guilty to running a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. Both Madoff’s attorneys and prison officials denied the alleged assault after reports surfaced last December. But three former prisoners now say they witnessed the attack. The assault was allegedly carried out by another prisoner who felt Madoff owed him money. Madoff was allegedly treated for a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face.
