Bernie Madoff
How could we forget Bernie Madoff, the "financier" whose infamous Ponzi scheme scammed everyone on the Upper East Side out of their hard-earned fortunes? The revelation of his false business tore his family apart, hounded daily by a pack of press who were skeptical of their supposed lack of involvement or knowledge of the hedge fund heist. He's currently serving a prison sentence of 150 years.
