A former Wall Street financier and convicted fraudster, Bernard Madoff, died on Wednesday in a US federal prison in Butner, North Carolina, aged 82.
Madoff had been serving a 150-year sentence after he pleaded guilty in 2009 to running a Ponzi scheme, which paid investors with money from new clients rather than actual profits.
