Crime doesn't pay, the old saying goes. But it can get you some nice things for a while, and Bernard Madoff is proof.

Since his arrest and guilty plea , many of his former belongings have been put up for sale. On May 19, 2011, his wine and spirits collection fetched $41,530 in an online sale , almost triple the presale forecast of $15,000. Read on to see more of the possessions that Madoff once owned. Pictured: Boxes and a case of wine sat in the laundry room of Madoff's Manhattan penthouse apartment after it was seized by the US government.
