Irony Alert: Bernard L. Madoff Edition

Before his firm and its website were taken over by receivers, self-confessed fraud Bernard L. Madoff offered prospective clients this online description of his firm's mission:

"In an era of faceless organizations owned by other equally faceless organizations, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC harks back to an earlier era in the financial world: The owner's name is on the door. Clients know that Bernard Madoff has a personal interest in maintaining the unblemished record of value, fair-dealing and high ethical standard that has always been the firm's hallmark."

Touching.
