Bernie Madoff, who is serving a 150-year sentence for fraud, says he was transferred to Duke Medical Center last month after suffering a heart attack in federal prison, according to CNBC.


Madoff returned to prison in North Carolina this week to continue serving time for orchestrating an elaborate $17 million Ponzi scheme believed to be the the largest financial fraud in U.S. history.


Madoff, 75, also has stage four kidney disease and is not on dialysis at this point, according to the report.
