Madhoff is supposed to have BILLIONS hidden away in foreign bank accounts.
If he has then he would be pretty stupid not to have spent at least a large sum of money organising a prison escape. For that kind of money you could raise an army of many thousands of extremely well trained and well armed men and women.
If you were him wouldn’t you?
Fuck, he may not even need to do that! How much would you need to bribe every prison officer in a prison to let you out one night?
I’d want to spend the rest of my life on some quiet desert island somewhere drinking cocktails in anonymity.
