The feds are putting swindler Bernie Madoff’s homes on the market.

The U.S Marshall’s service is selling his 4,000 square foot Upper East Side flat. That’s the one where authorities arrested him in his bathrobe. It’s also where they found 100 checks worth $173 million that he was planning to send to relatives and friends before he got nabbed.

Also on the block is his 8,700 square foot Mexican-tiled estate in Palm Beach. His 55-foot yacht, named Bull, is moored in nearby Fort Lauderdale. The listing price for that house is $8.5 million.

Finally, here, courtesy of the Corcoran Group, are photos of Bernie’s Montauk estate on New York’s Long Island. It’s got 3,000 square feet of space. Four bedrooms, three baths. It’s listed at $8.7 million. Corcoran, which also has the listing in Palm Beach, is donating its share of the commission to Bernie’s victims.
