ModelWorks, an exhibitor at the annual New York City event, has announced it will be selling the 'Smash-Me Bernie,' a doll with Madoff's likeness who is also wearing a red devil suit and carrying a pitchfork. The toy costs $99.95 and comes with a hammer for bashing it.
Considering that Madoff collectively cheated investors out of $50 billion in a Ponzi scheme, the toy should be a big 'hit.'
