It’s the Loneliest Number Since the Number One

It turns out that a Queens construction worker made some money off of Bernie Madoff—he scored $1,500 from the New York State Lottery by gambling on the money manager’s prison numbers: 61727-054. That got me thinking, what other beneficial uses could Madoff’s dirty digits have?

1). Ordering a big-ass car Apparently, 617-2705 (yeah, I got rid of the four, so sue me) is the phone number for Cadillac Hummer of Mahwah, New Jersey. When the economy is swirling down the drain, what better use of Madoff’s number than ordering up a horrifically expensive gas-guzzler—in Jersey no less.

2). Making new friends “61727054,” incidentally, is some dude’s name on MySpace! Apparently, he likes: “Music, TV, alcohol, bacon" and dislikes "sports, sports fans, religion, high fives.”

3). Hawking posters Of course, someone has already purchased the domain name: “61727-054.” Why? To sell posters, natch. Oddly enough, Madoff kinda looks like my dad in said posters (fml).

What do you think?
