Madoff shares jail with mob boss and ex-spy

NEW YORK - Fallen financier Bernard Madoff has plunged from his Manhattan penthouse to the lower bunk of a cell he shares with a drug offender at a federal prison, where he eats pizza cooked by a child molester and hangs around with a mob boss and a convicted spy, according to legal papers filed yesterday.

The snapshot of Madoff's prison life - and a contrasting picture of a former high-flying life laced with cocaine and salacious parties - are in a legal complaint filed by Burlingame, California-based lawyer Joseph Cotchett, who represents about a dozen victims of Madoff's huge investment Ponzi scheme.

Cotchett interviewed Madoff in July at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex near Raleigh, North Carolina.

The lawyer found the mastermind of one of history's largest financial frauds now reduced to night-time walks around a prison track for fun, according to the new filing.
