6 High Society Names You Definitely Don't Want To Be Associated With

Despite this scandal being more than a decade old, Bernie Madoff's name still doubles as insult for similarly underhanded scammers (like "The Madoff of Millennials," Billy McFarland).

Let it be known though that Stephanie is actually super cool. Bernie's wife Ruth though? Jury's still out.
