Excerpted from the Manhattan Spectrum:

An acquaintance of Madoff, who wished to remain anonymous, said the alleged Ponzi-schemer was spending an inordinate amount of time on Facebook.  Said the source:

“Bernie had a lot of time on his hands, as he was basically locked down in his apartment, you know.  So, one of his friends told him about Facebook and he was really taken with it.  One of my other friends overheard him say that he was really sorry he hadn’t found out about it sooner.”

“You know, with the networking possibilities and all.”
