Maddoff Scale
A dumb scale used to measure how much of a lying, money-sucking, scam artist a Ponzi scheme is when it gets caught, based on how big and how long it was compared to the Bernard Maddoff mess.
'This scam went on for 35 years? That’s like Maddoff with a PhD in lying!'
'They stole $25 billion? That’s a Maddoff Scale 12!'
'He got caught in 2010? That’s like a Maddoff Scale 4!'
