He manipulated stocks to get into prison — and his blood pressure to try to get out of it, prosecutors said yesterday.

John Mazzuto, 62, charged as the mastermind of a $60 million stock-price-inflating scheme involving his chemical and auto-parts firm, Industrial Enterprises, has been making himself sick by intentionally taking too little, then too much of his blood-pressure medications, causing his pressure to fluctuate wildly.

“It’s interesting that they don’t recommend a new drug,” quipped Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro of supporting affidavits for Mazzuto’s release by four doctors.

“They say only that he needs a private nurse and being home in Florida.”

Mazzuto has a warm, comfy, 7,715-square-foot mansion in Palm Beach Gardens.

Mazzuto is eager to be vindicated at his March 7 trial, where he faces a 57-count indictment topped by two counts of first-degree grand larceny, said his lawyer, Richard Asche.
