My gynecologist who delivered my son almost 40 years ago was named Dr. Hole. Sorry, but true.

This man caused so much pain not only to his family but to so many others. Really sad. In regards to names, I also find your name quite telling Dr. Grande. You are indeed Great! Thank you as always!

Madoff on Nov 15th, 2139: "Who's laughing now, Dr. Grande??"

I had an experience with theft on the job - when I was accused of stealing some missing money. My accuser was actually the perpetrator of the crime. There was a full out criminal investigation on my where I was mirandized, polygraphed - the whole works. One of the things that stuck out in my mind -was a conversation I had with family during the investigation. Convinced the accuser stole the money - I concluded he had a "bad day" and acted out by committing theft. My family member took me aside and explained to me that most criminals don't get on the radar by just one "bad day." Most likely he had been stealing for a very long time - Over time he got: Overconfident - Arrogant - Entitled and felt invisible. Sure enough that was EXACTLY the case. The Police discovered years of embezzlement and countless amounts of money. The lesson I learned from this is that by the time people are caught - they have developed a criminal narcissistic mind. That is also the case with Bernie - he had been stealing for so long - it was just baked int he cake - as part of his persona - it no longer even felt like a crime.

The Madoff case continues to fascinate. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for bringing your psychological take on it.

the man would need to make it to 201 years old to get out of prison. dr Todd: "statistically speaking I would say that fairly unlikely"

Interesting analysis. How about Anthony Weiner for a name that fits the crime?

There is a dentist in my area whose last name is Payne.

When I was a child, I suffered from leg aches due to flat feet. I was taken to a Dr. Paine, who recommended a surgery that involved having both my legs in a a cast for 6 weeks. My parents decided against it. Ironically, about 10 years later, Dr. Paine and his wife were murdered by their own son. You cannot make this stuff up.

I remember going to a funeral a few years ago and the reverend's last name was "Makepeace".

On "names"... I had a dentist once...Dr. Slaughter! Then there was the Ear, Nose, & Throat guy - Dr. Fear! Truly!

Dr. Grande, it would be interesting if you could dig into the "pathology" of greed, which seems to have come into play here as well. Why is it that, at least with some people, there is no "enough" when it comes to wealth? Even when all basic and luxury needs have been met many times over and often at a cost for others.

I really enjoy how you always take the topic that you investigate ONE STEP further and gives us more analysis than meets the eye. As always, thanks for that ONE-TWO PUNCH of information that is only ONE THING THAT sets you apart from the rest. Keep up the great work!

Dr. Grande... the king of deadpan humor

There is a dentist in my area whose last name is pain... Lol Dr. Pain is going to be working on you today :)

I stayed up for this!! Yesss!! Dr Grande time!!!!

Thank you Dr. Grande! This was hilarious!! And an excellent analysis of Bernie Madoff too. How sad about both of his poor sons. I will look them up. How terribly sad!!

Wayne , Lee , Earl and Ray used to be popular among kids that would grow up to be serious trouble during the 40's , 50,s and 60's . James Earl Ray , John Wayne Gacy , Lee Harvey Oswald etc.

Please do a video on the columbine shooters. Otherwise great video as always.

Madoff was so well liked by his clients that many still believed in him even after he was caught. To many, he was almost considered part of their families because he attended family funerals, send gifts of condolence, was invited to weddings, and made them think he was just a long time trusted friend. He has that type of face that appears to always have a gentle smile, when actually that is just the contours of his face and he's really not smiling at all. BTW, my dentist is Dr. Mean - not kidding!

😂🤣 Dr Grande. My dad had a surgeon named Dr Carver once. We were somewhat worried. I'm sure Madoff is conning celll mates out of their commissary money. What a greedy, greedy man. Thank you! 👍🌹

Woke up to the headlines of Madoff’s death and knew I had to immediately jump on here and have Dr. Grande make sense of him for me...or a situation like him.

I enjoy your KZfaq videos and appreciate the content greatly! TY Dr. Grande🙏

"affective empathy" and "cognitive empathy." Such cool terms! However, I prefer to define empathy as understanding AND FEELING how someone is feeling/thinking, whereas I define PERCEPTIVENESS as ONLY understanding, but not feeling. Just my preference.

Thank You for a very great podcasts I love them all, because I'm also interested in this kind of questions.

"Bernie Shakyhands" sounds like a name the mob would give someone (like "Jimmy Cleanhands" from "Once Upon a Time in America)😂😂

What a fascinating case! His family paid a huge price for his crimes.

~7:13 to ~7:45 "... an auditor wanted a trade ledger from a last year's random date ... 1 of his co-conspirators stalked this auditor, while the other(s) printed a copy and put it into the refrigerator, so that it wouldn't be hot from the copy printer/machine ... then they threw the trade ledger between each other * to make it look "beat up"/often used like an old document should look ... the auditor fell for it!..." * Basically they're playing a mix of a "catch & fetch" game with these copies, I'm assuming this was more, than just one piece of paper. - At least that's the way, I've visualized this scenario in my own head, while lmao. This part had me dying of laughter, Dr Grande! 🤣🙃😁 The way you've explained and handled this situation was pure comedy gold!^^ That's why I prefer watching your videos, as I can't figure out, how you're managing to tell these stories to all of us, while keeping a straight, very serious, nearly sad looking face. - I've already promised myself, that I'll NEVER play poker against you! Sure its tragic, that at least 2 of his investors killed themselves, but we don't know, if their lost money had really been the main reason for their decisions to take their own lives. I've always heard from my father, you habe to look at money as kinda 100% "gaming money" - if you're putting it into investments and stocks, which of course makes you very dependent on stock markets developments - as there's always this huge possibility, you might lose it entirely in the blink of an eye. & That's my main problem here: Madoff's investors likely got greedy and didn't follow this "NO 1 rule" of investment, stock trading and trust into other persons in general; that's giving me a hard time to look at Madoff as the truly bad guy - bc usually people, who've too much money to invest, often have it from questionable sources as well (rule/fact No 2), so what did they do prior to having/losing that much? He basically got live in prison for that ponzi scheme, which broke down parallel to the crash in 2008, I find this highly suspicious - it really makes me wonder, if and when he would've crashed down without the 2008 economy/banker crisis? Hopefully the charges against him were based on real illegal crimes, somehow he feels like a great scapegoat in such an overall desperate scenario... The scene I'd mentioned at the beginning - the fake trade ledger copies for the auditor - thou can't make this stuff up, I'd guess. SO of course I feel very bad for all the people, who'd worked legally for their money and lost it in fact cause of him! But on the other hand, let's face it, banks are also con artists, but legal ones - they're protected by the laws and their governments, we've seen this in 2008, when the US made a huge attempt to save most of these banks & bankers with tax payers money and government's aid/state funding, otherwise the US economy likely would've broken down much worse. - So even, if you're only very carefully investing into bank-fonds, they seem also not 100% trustworthy and you're endangered to lose all your "gaming cash"... if there's suddenly a bank-crisis. As I remember it in the way, that most (if not all) of their little investors lost most to all of their investments as well - if I understood and remember all of their transactions correctly atm. (& Now we're also in the middle of the process of watching a similar - but in these dimensions never before observed unfolding - enormously large worldwide money/investments/stocks/inflation/and whatnot "economy-crisis-chaos"; I don't expect the banks themselves to go down though. --> Hard to say atm of course, I certainly could be misinterpreting my own impressions and observations).

Just want to say i really enjoy your Channel. Great content. Thanks so much.

What a Wild story! I injured my back. The MD said “you need surgery, I am Dr. Bill Hurt” I said “would you refer?” He said: “well, I lost another one.” He told me he regretted becoming a surgeon. True story.

Thank you, Doctor. Is there any truth to the assertion that narcissists are notorious for accusing others of being narcissists?

You’re killing me, Dr. Grande😂 - the name analogy at the end😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t need to watch any comedy shows on TV or go to the movies when I have you daily at the comfort of my home next to my four-legged babies. Thank you!

My brother was a career investigator for the SEC. He said that the investigators were constantly at odds with the legal department, and that they are the reason that so many frauds go unpunished. He said that they detect fraud all of the time; it is usually very obvious. But, the legal department is rewarded for successful prosecutions and punished for unsuccessful prosecutions. This makes them very, very hesitant to take on fraud cases where there is even a hint of uncertainty. My brother regularly referred to the legal department by a very unflattering term usually used for female genitalia.

As someone in finance and curious about psychology, I am impressed by your interdisciplinary analysis here. Thank you sir.

there was a really interesting chapter in freakonomics about names. part of the reason that people with "less popular" names are somewhat more likely to be involved in crime is because of the phenomenon where a mother will name her child something unique as a compensation for what may end up being a presumably unfortunate upbringing, and thus the correlation between strange names and crime.

Do Jeffrey Skilling and the rest of the Enron crowd! DO IT! DOOO IT!

You make the best analysis and should be discovered by more people.

"Bernie Carjack?" Seriously? Absolutely priceless Dr. G. What WOULD we do without you? Especially during quarantine. Thank you SO very much for all you do for all of us every day. I know you have "another life" away from KZfaq and I have no idea how you can manage it but I am so very grateful you do.

Speaking of lying to everyone you know, I’d love you to speak about Kim Philby. He was a Brit who had a long and successful career in British intelligence, while he was actually a mole for the Soviets. His own agents died because of information he passed on. I can’t even begin to comprehend how you could live like that, but - as you say - he most likely enjoyed it.

Can you also do a similar profile on Frank Abegnale?

I had a maths teacher called Mr Aljabar, he didn't find it funny when it was pointed out to him for some reason 🤷🏾‍♂️

When I was growing up, there was an oral surgeon in town named Dr Carver....🤣

There's absolutely nothing Grandiose about you Dr Grande ! 🧡

Coffee time. 🙂💕🇬🇧 thank you.

This is my first time ever commenting on...well anything, but I really wanted to after watching this: Thank you for this analysis. I am currently studying this scandal in my accounting class, and this is very helpful. I wanted to try to understand what kind of person did this and if he really felt remorseful. However, the reason I am commenting on this is after all these rightfully serious and sad documentaries I have consumed, you actually made me laugh. It caught me off guard and I had to rewind the video to write down the names "Bernie Car-Jack" and "Bernie Shakey-Hands", Thank you! I will be sharing this video with my class. I always value your insight and the way you delivered those funny names was the icing on the cake!

Aww, I love the edutainment lol education/entertainment and encouragement.Take care, love you, thanks again and you're welcome.

Very good analysis, as usual, Doc!! Love your take on these bizarre people and their lives!

I am wondering.. Could You make more videos about bi-polar disorder, especially bipolar disorder 2? And how it could affect a relationship, if one partner had bipolar 2 ? Thank You..

Your analysis is “spot on”. The analysis of Bernie Madoff’s name as “Made off” was very insightful! It amazes me that there are so many people that have no conscience. Thank you Dr. Grande for another thought- provoking video.

Good stuff Doc. I was in the FEDS with Peter Madoff (Bernie's brother) a lot of the things you said were spot on!

Dr Grande you make me smile so much! I remember thinking Madoff was an unbelievably apt name a bit like Swaggart The Maggot and Bakker the Faker - dodgy TV evangelists of 80''s/90's. Two of the most significant narcissists in my life had initials SS and KGB and then there's dear Eckhart Tolle - ET. I think perhaps I'm spending too much time by myself. Always enjoy your random topics and sound research. Thank you very much.

In effect, his greed ruined or killed a lot of people including his sons. What a terrible man. I'm guessing that he won't get out at 201 years. You're too funny. 😊 Thanks, doctor.

I literally belted out laughing....Dr..Shakeyhanz. Lol..one of (many) of your best. Thank you. Dr Grande

I enjoyed the part on names. You had me laughing.

Interesting analysis as usual. I'm surviving quarantine with art & these uploads. Can you do an analysis of these celebrity predators? RKelly is a highlight these days.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is grossly underfunded and undersized. Blame Ronald Reagan and his obsession with deregulation.

The words ‘brilliantly done’ first came to my mind. Thanks very much, Dr. Grande. Especially for those feeling unstable or just sometimes doubtful about actual self worth vs financial acumen. I know people with very unstable family histories who can’t focus on themselves except in how they can cheat others for very short term gains - so they can keep their larger check deposits for themselves to spend on luxury items. One of them is a BPD woman. She is very beautiful but hoards what she steals to buy things from TV programs and stack it in her garage unopened. I think she runs a social adaptation of what Madoff did but on a smaller and twisted scale. She doesn’t have any real need for anything -she just does it. It appears to me Madoff had no real needs either. He just did it. One of these type people wanted me to run away to Vegas and marry him. I keep one eye open all night because of these time wasting schemers. God bless you for the enlightenment.

Thanks dr grande for your very interesting content. I have a suggestion if you do not mind. Can you provide an analysis about the monster josef fritzl. Thanks again for your work.

great video. it would be interesting if you did a video on jordan belfort, as he has a large following now.

I knew a Sergeant Major Rambo in the Army. He was a Green Beret too. Just like the fictional character.

Regarding the names ending with a "Y" and association to criminal life. There's the same saying in Sweden about names ending with a "Y" or at least there used to be. Conny(!), Sonny, Johnny, Billy, Tommy, Lenny, Kenny, Benny, we don't have "Bobbies". This is a mystery.

thanks for explaining what a ponzie scheme is. This channel is teaching me so much.

I like how ya broke down the last name thing! I think about that some time..differently though..like..shoemaker...did that come from some one who shoe makes..lol

I cannot imagine how someone who’s living a lie like this can sleep at night. I always wonder about the wife too. What was she thinking the whole time??? I know someone who was convicted of this exact crime..... what is the wife thinking? Thank you Dr. Grande!🌹

I always thought of him as a Machiavellian. Good video 😀. A wile back when you did the series on narcissistic parents and children, did you do one on psychopathic parents? Maybe I just can't find it.

Thanks! very interesting! 🙂

Wow this is a bit scary, I was just searching this case yesterday and you posted this😆 could you do Elizabeth Holme case next? To me she is like text book narcissist. Would like to see your opinion on her

Thank you, your videos are very interesting. I'd like to see your analysis of Billy McFarlane's handling of the Fyre Festival. Cheers

March 12th, 2009 was a day I won't forget. It was my 7th birthday, but at my party I saw that story on TV. I didn't realize it all back then. But man this scheme ended even worse than Enron.

Thank you Dr Grande for your examination of this criminal case. I have difficulty calling these people "criminal masterminds," since their inevitable fates are merely a matter of time.

I would like to know how he felt about his own son committing suicide because of him. Did he even really care? What about the wife. She appears cold.

Excellent, interesting 👍🏼💗

Can you do Billy McFarland? The Fyre festival. I was amazed that he pulled that off, well sort of. This was a interesting and helpful video.

Dr. Grande you cracked me up when you said "A valet named Bernie Carjack or a surgeon named Bernie Shakyhands"!!!!! lol. Hilarious.

I know a family that was devastated by this man. They were contacted and asked if they were in favor of granting him parole on account of his cancer. They told them "Hell no."

Very entertaining way to present the kind of criminal case which often leaves so many people feeling hurt and violated after many lies were told and electronic banking boundaries were crossed. I have a theory about how to prepare young people better in being able to detect financial scams. Outdoor education for young people is so important because it builds physical fitness and self-confidence enough to detect that kind of thing sooner and then doing the right thing by reporting it instead of seeing offers like that as truths that will later be a large nest egg life saver during any economic downturn. Very sad that those 2 children of Madoff died younger maybe because of not being able to cope well enough while being targetted with anger by people who lost money who didn't realize that those brothers were the first ones to turn him in?

Make me chuckle. Great to see this series expanding into other areas of crime. For some reason, this guy makes me think of Harold Shipman who seemed to enjoy, not just killing patients, but winning a huge degree of trust from them before hand. I wonder if gaining that kind of trust was something this guy found highly gratifying? BTW my surname is Earley and I do experience a slightly higher than average degree of anxiety about being late for things. I would love to hear your thoughts on Jimmy Saville. He was not well known in the USA but he was a national hero in the UK who was posthumously found out to have been a hugely prolific, and highly insidious sex offender as well as a necrophiliac. He used to associate with Royalty, celebrities and senior political leaders, often as a close confidante and deeper suspicions remain, even after a formal enquiry was made. He was also, very briefly, a “Yorkshire Ripper” serial killer suspect, long before Peter Sutcliffe was convicted.

@ Dr. Grande: Would you please look into doing a psychological profile on Chip Douglas from the movie The Cable Guy? Putting aside all of the theatrics, I would love to get a more in depth opinion on what (if any) psychological difficulties he had and if it was nature or nurture that made him behave that way. Personally, I feel he has sociopath tendencies and abandonment issues. I would love to hear more of what you think. Thank you, sir! Keep up the AMAZING work!

I love your dry sense of humour

Another Great Show 💫🌍🇺🇸

Nice, I think you should talk more about corporate psycho cases.

It's a pretty interesting question you pose at the end there...

Aww, you rock.Could I see some videos on Phil Spector and OJ Simpleton lol Simpson?

interesting video since someone I know did a ponzi scheme and is sitting in jail. good video as usual

A fine summary of the Madoff psychology-and evidence of the power Money has to corrupt Humans in this society. All of us !

Thank you Dr Grande. I was wondering if you could do a video on the Moors Murderers, Myra Hindley and Ian Bradey. They were a rare case of serial killers that worked together to target young children. I am interested if you believe that to be a folie a deux or if as Hindley claimed Bradey forced her involvement.

Amazing

Interesting when you talk about people’s names and how they might affect a persons personality or mental health. I watched your video a few days after a mass shooting at a Fed Ex facility in Indianapolis. The shooters name was Brandon Scott Hole aged 19 and I was just thinking prior to watching your video what a terrible last name Hole is. If a person already had mental issues having that last name could really aggravate a persons mental state, at least I would think so. School and especially High School would have been a challenge for anyone with a last name like that, but especially if a person was suffering from severe mental health issues. I wonder if the family had changed there last name to Holmes if that would have made any difference. Interesting subject for sure. I believe you said there isn’t much research or really much of anything regarding names and how they effect personality. If you do happen on anything on this subject or you just want to expand your thoughts on this subject I’d be very interested in what you think.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO AN ANALYSIS ON THE FYRE FESTIVAL GUY. I’m rewatching the documentaries and I’m beginning to think there has to be something mentally going wrong for this man to really do the things he did.

Great subject to pick. He is something else.

Bernie Jaywalker. Holy shit, that cracked me up. I think I'd go with a more aliterative name - maybe Johnny Jaywalker.

Off the cuff statement on last names 😂😀 William Sloane Coffin Jr. Attending Draft Rally (Original Caption) Reverend William Sloane Coffin Jr., 43 the Chaplain at Yale University and his wife are seen here as he appeared at the U.S. District Court in Boston. Reverend Coffin, Dr. Spock and three other defendants pleaded innocent to charges of conspiring to aid young men in dodging the draft 😍

When I lived in NYC I heard my father's girlfriend laughing about a Dr. Schmuck. Evidently it's a legit surname; Schmucks are all over the internet.

"Statistically speaking I would say that's fairly unlikely." Your getting cheeky Doc! 😆 That was truly interesting about the popularity of names and the decrease in criminal behavior statistically.

Decades ago, my mom (who had quite a sense of humor), my dad and I were aboard a domestic flight. Over the intercom, the pilot introduced himself as Captain Golf. Without missing a beat, my mom said, "That's okay. As long as it isn't Captain Goof".

Ha ha, he he, Falwell!! How did we miss that one?

Wouldn't it just be that this guy started with a little scam, but as the ball started rolling he couldn't back out? I mean, that's the point of a Ponzi scheme, you need to keep attracting investors. So what he did was just kinda avoiding punishment.

Fascinating I remember the man collected and calm hurt many people hope you'll consider the cases/parents of Jon Benet Ramsay and/or Madeline McCann thank you Dr.

I took one of my boston terriers to a veterinarian orthopedic surgeon. His name was Dr. Peacock. I immediately covered my dogs ears. I told him that Henry does not like birds. LOL

"Bernie ShakeyHands" 😂
