Judge orders Bernard Madoff jailed immediately:
A US District judge ordered disgraced financier Bernard Madoff jailed immediately and revoked his bail, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site Thursday.
A prosecutor on Monday asked that Bernard Madoff be jailed pending trial, saying the disgraced financier violated an agreement with the court by mailing watches, jewelry, cufflinks and mittens worth more than US$1 million to relatives and friends.
