Bernie Madoff mask becoming popular for Halloween

Tools

NEW YORK (AP) - Expect to see a lot of Bernard Madoffs this
Halloween.

The real Madoff pleaded guilty to a decades-long Ponzi scheme that cost investors millions of dollars and is serving a 150-year prison sentence.

His mug will be joining the witches and ghosts on spook night.

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.
