1984 - Crazy Eddie

Also, that's not "Crazy Eddie" Antar, the company owner. That's NYC radio DJ Jerry Carroll, who Antar hired to do his ads since he reminded him of Earl "Madman" Muntz, the original guy to think up the "1) sell crap cheap to poor inner-city residents 2) shout really loud on TV, 3) reap profits" angle.

MBKDragonfly: Eddie Antar and his family actually embezzled $1 for every $5 made by the company. They carefully cooked the books for years so nobody would find out.

Eventually the skimming got Eddie caught and he fled to Israel, but he eventually got extradited to the US, paid several million dollars in fines, and did 2 years in jail.

Crazy Eddie went bankrupt after that since he'd skimmed fully 1/5th of their profits over a 15 year period, something like $80 million dollars all said and done

this man is nuts!

Is this guy even alive now a days???

i think he tried to burn down a bar called the hollow tavern, went to prison for 8 years over fraud, tried to get into israel with a fake passport and loads of other shit

the man is nuts!

Damn! i didnt think he lived up to the name. I thought it was all a gimmick.lol.
