NEW YORK - Bernard Madoff's lawyers are appealing a judge's decision to revoke his $10 million bail and send him to jail to await sentencing.
Madoff pleaded guilty Thursday to 11 felony counts including securities fraud and was immediately jailed.
His lawyers filed papers with a federal appeals court today.
The court papers were not immediately available.
Bail was revoked after the 70-year-old financier confessed to carrying out what may be the biggest fraud in Wall Street history.
Madoff told U.S. District Judge Denny Chin that he was `deeply sorry and ashamed.'
