Buying a piece of Bernie Madoff

I have been reading about the Madoff auctions and I am really surprised that folks are shelling out big bucks often above the reserve price for a piece of Madoff.. I think its totally mad. Why would you want monogramed underwear that once belonged to one of the biggest crooks in history? Yes he ran a big Ponzi scheme but there have been other financial scandals what''s so special about Madoff ?
