WTF: iPad Cases Made From Bernie Madoff’s Pants

Did you miss out on getting ripped off by Bernie Madoff? Well, here’s one more chance. Case maker href="http://www.frederickjames.com/collections/the-bernie-madoff">Frederick James picked up some of Madoff’s trousers at an auction selling off his worldly possessions in order to help pay back his victims, and James has converted them into iPad cases.

That’s right, iPad cases made from Madoff’s pants. With a certificate of authenticity if you want one.

The Bernie Madoff Collection/> In the Fall of 2010, Frederick James obtained a limited number of personal clothing items belonging to the notorious felon, Bernie Madoff, at an auction held by the US Marshals Service.

Madoff is an incarcerated American felon, former stockbroker, investment advisor, non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market, and the admitted operator of what has been described as the largest Ponzi scheme in history.

Frederick James has used the Madoff clothing to create limited edition iPad covers. Each item of clothing has been cut up to create a unique cover.

So, what’ll it set you back to have the ass-sweat of a famous scam artist all over your iPad? Oh, just $250-$350. Pocket change, really.
