Internet web game fans have something new to play this summer. Mobile developer Cellufun announces a free social multiplayer game that taps into the infamy of ponzi scheming Bernie Madoff in a game entitled Made Off.
Fans use fictional cellupoints instead of real cash as they try to duplicate the Madoff’s success as a slimy fund manager. The idea is to deceive enough people before the Feds knock on your door with a battering ram.
Neil Edwards, chief executive of Cellufun, says that the game is intended to poke fun at Madoff and not at his victims. The game is supposed to be educational in helping people learn how not to fall victim to investment schemes.
“When your fund goes broke, you go, Holy crap, I didn’t invite enough people,’” says Edwards.
