"Countless people may have lost their shirts with Bernie Madoff and his record-setting Ponzi scheme, but a few actually bought his wardrobe back during an auction over the weekend, including one brave bidder who ponied up $200 for the disgraced financier&amp;#x27;s underwear! An auction of Madoff&amp;#x27;s personal belongings was held by the U.S. Marshal Service in Florida over the weekend, where about $400,000 was raised for his fraud victims, according to the Miami Herald. &amp;quot;The bidders were an eclectic mixture of awestruck high-finance groupies, intense art dealers and gimlet-eyed professional auction buyers, whose differing interests kept the bidding unpredictable and highly entertaining,&amp;quot; the paper reports of the group, which numbered about 150 people in person and 6,000 more vying for his items online. While it was hardly the day&amp;#x27;s biggest lot, the most fascinating may have been a pack of 14 pairs of boxer shorts that fetched $200 (no news on if they were, er, previously worn). They&amp;#x27;re hardly a $31,000 Rolex, which was also part of the auction, but it&amp;#x27;s still pretty big bucks to fork over for a pair of criminal skivvies, don&amp;#x27;t you think? I can only imagine what the new owner is doing with them... What do you gals think about the auction of Bernie Madoff&amp;#x27;s personal belongings? Can you believe there are people out there who want to own a piece of his history? Do you think it&amp;#x27;s actually a smart way to make back some cash to fund his fraud victims&amp;#x27; payments? Or is the whole thing rather ridiculous? Discuss!
