This guy screwed over the wrong people. They are liquidating everything and anything of the guy's in order to get their money back.
Over the weekend, the government held the 2nd Bernie Madoff auction and you have to check out some of the stuff on the list. They were offering up nail clippers, a collection of Rod Stewart CDs, a collection of board games, a bunch of Kosher cook books, even the wive's belly-button jewlery. They're selling off the man's underwear for Christ sakes.
Yes, the man was a (put your expletive), but this is just bizarre. With the first auction they sold off his set of Rolex and signature monogrammed Mets jacket. They were big ticket items that would obviously draw a crowd. This though. These are just little trinkets with the only really value being that they were once possessed by the immortally infamous Bernie Madoff. I mean it reminds of the bizarre relic collecting of early Christendom where kings and nobles clung to the ear of St. Peter or a tooth of Mary Magdalene.
It's a pair of boxer shorts and some weirdo is going to pay several hundred dollars for it.
