Convicted swindler Bernard Madoff was moved last week to the medical centre within a federal prison for undisclosed reasons, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.
Spokeswoman Traci Billingsley said he had been transferred on Dec. 18, but she declined to comment on the reason, citing privacy rules.
Madoff is serving a 150-year prison term after pleading guilty to a $US65 billion ($NZ92.17b) fraud. He has been imprisoned at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina.
