I wonder if Parker Brothers will release a new “Madoff Monopoly” version of their popular board game. “Steal $3M from your sister”, “Collect $200M as you pass”, “Payout 12% to early investors”, “Ponzi collapses”, “Turn yourself in”, “House arrest”, and of course “Go to jail as your victims cheer” can be some new block labels.
Hey, I would buy it, sounds like a lot of fun, I lost my shirt on my normal investments in the economic meltdown.
Bernie was allready a millionaire, hard to believe he would get himself into this, although I heard his monthly expenses where 250,000 to 500,000 per month. ( I might be misquoting) but yes, in that case I guess he would need to keep inventing ways to make money.

toyotawhizguy,
I like that idea! Maybe the profits from the game can go to the victims of Madoff’s crimes. But what is Boardwalk going to be called? Park Place?
