Retired

The ultimate irony of the Madoff mess is that prison probably will be the most comfortable place for Bernie to spend the rest of his life. As a pathological "'anal-retentive' neatness freak" with "a major case of obsessive-compulsive disorder" (Vanity Fair, April 2009, p. 135), he should feel right at home in his little cell now, with only his bunk and concrete floor to keep neat and clean. And since he has been revealed to be clinically antisocial, he should feel right at home there with his fellow inmates. After all, with all the money and luxury he has amassed, he has been working diligently his entire life for this solitary retirement. No fuss, no muss, at least for him.
