Ever since the Bernie Madoff scandal, the similarities to the Ponzi schemer's family and that of the dysfunctional Bluth's on Arrested Development have grown exponentially. Maybe Bernie Madoff is just a viral marketing scheme for the A.D. movie that may or may not be in production? Lets look at the evidence:

• Family Patriarch put in jail; estranged sons considered not enough of a threat to charge with conspiracy.

• Domineering mother figure secretly slipping cash to her man behind bars.

• Bernie Madoff and George Bluth both suffered from the ennui of house arrest.

• Ponzi scheme sounds an awful lot like Fonzi scheme. Henry Winkler, who played Fonzie on Happy Days, reappeared as the scheming, bumbling lawyer for George Bluth on Arrested Development.
