Bernie Madoff, cocaine kingpin?
New additions to a lawsuit against the jailed Ponzi schemer charge that he presided over an office so fueled by the drug that it was known as the "North Pole."
The suit, filed Tuesday night in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleges that Madoff, as far back as 1975, used two street toughs on his payroll to set up a cocaine pipeline into the offices of Madoff Securities.
It portrays the firm's headquarters as an animal house with "a culture of sexual deviance" that often hosted drug-fueled parties featuring topless waitresses who wore little more than G-strings.
In addition to Madoff, the suit, which was originally filed in June, adds a host of new corporate defendants, including JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, the Bank of New York, Oppenheimer and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance.
It also reveals that Madoff shares a cell with a 21-year-old doing time for drug offenses and eats pizza prepared by a convicted child molester.
Lawyer Joseph Cotchett, who filed the suit, met with Madoff last summer shortly after he arrived at a federal prison in North Carolina.
