Searching for meaning in Madoff's name...

Once upon a time, it used to be that people acquired their last names after the work they did. If you made bread you were Mr Baker. If you made things from wood you were Mr Carpenter and if you made barrels you were called Mr Cooper. And if, once upon a time, you made off with $50bn of investors' money you took the name Madoff! (pronounced Made-off) Named after the work you do makes sense, doesn't it? :)
