Madoff Masks Are All the Rage

His mug is scary enough to the thousands of people who lost their savings in his Ponzi scheme -- but that won't stop many Halloween revelers from dressing up as Bernard Madoff for the upcoming holiday.
Madoff masks are top sellers at stores and Web sites that sell costumes.
One firm that makes a rubber Madoff mask, Rubie's Costume Company, has distributed more than 15,000 of them to stores across the country.
But Executive Vice President Howard Beige predicts that Madoff will be outsold by Michael Jackson.
Madoff pleaded guilty this year to a decades-long Ponzi scheme that cost investors millions of dollars and is serving a 150-year prison sentence.
