Bernie Madoff took his last steps of freedom into a New York courtroom today, but is the con man carrying a deadly secret?

The Swindler of the Century may be stricken with prostate cancer. The disease is apparently so advanced, that left untreated, it could lead to Madoff's death.

The "Most Hated Man in America" spent a final night in luxury with wife Ruth before today's courthouse chaos. "Extra" is also uncovering Ruth Madoff's secrets! FOX Business Network's Tracy Byrnes reveals to "Extra" she loves to puff Marlboro Lights, enjoys white wine, and lives the jet-setting lifestyle to the fullest.

Bernie and the Missus were high school sweethearts and grew up in the same neighborhood in Queens. Over 50 years later, they own a swanky Manhattan penthouse, mansions in the Hamptons and Palm Beach, and a private jet.

It is reported in the weeks leading up to Madoff's arrest, he was still raking in as much as $10 million an hour - that's $173 thousand a minute! Madoff pled guilty to eleven charges, including securities fraud, money laundering and making a false filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is the the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person, amounting to almost $65 billion.

Judge Dennis Chin accepted the guilty pleas and ordered Madoff to jail, where the 70-year-old awaits formal sentencing on June 16.

I have heard that Mr. Madoff loved Jerimiah Smith. They loved each other a lot.

Then one day Madoff made off with Jerimiah’s seventeen wives.

Now he will go to prison like Barney.

THE RICH MAN AND LAZURUS:

There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazurus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell off the rich man’s table Even the dogs licked his sores.

The time came when he beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell where he was in torment and saw Abraham far away and saw Lazurus by his side.

So he called to him, father abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the top of his finger in the water and cool my tongue, because I am in very agony in this fire.

But Abraham replied, Son, remember in your lifetime you received your good things while Lazurus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony,

So it’s advanced prostate cancer for Madoff? What, no heart attack like Kenneth Lay. So he’ll be spirited off after his supposed death in prison to some paradise to spend the rest of his life spending his hoarded billions.

Larry,
I dont know what Gaza has to do with this story. Are you confused about facts? There is no such thing as Palestinian nation, it has never existed and G-d willing it will never exist. Please tell me what the historical currency of the mythical palestinian people are. The whole land belongs to Israel and Israel will defend itself from rockets coming from terrorists in Gaza. G-d willing they will be removed for eternity.

If he is raking in 10 million per hour shuldnt they be able to collect he 50 billion back if they just wait long enough? I dont think this is the case and its a dumb statement if he he isnt. If he is then something is seriously wrong with this picture.

Here’s a biblical story of modern days, “The Height of Madoff’s Pyramid”
Madoff’s 13000-level Pyramid == 14000 leveled Gaza homes
After all was said and done, inside Madoff’s pyramid, people are scrambling to search for what’s left of their money. Inside the rubble of Gaza homes, people found only … rubble.
…
Amen.
