Is Bernard Madoff cooperating or not?

Well, is he or isn't he? It had been widely reported that Bernie Madoff, who might have orchestrated the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, was cooperating with investigators, but now that seems unclear.

Prosecutors are now asking that he be thrown in jail. Madoff's team says he immediately tried to retrieve the packages once he realized they may violate his terms. Stay tuned.
