    For those who missed out on the Crazy Eddie TV commercials (which is referenced by the "Crazy Donnie" sign in the photo), they were mesmerizing and a thing to behold like no other commercial of that era in the New York metropolitan area. Crazy Eddie went bankrupt after committing massive retail #fraud.

    "Almost from the beginning, Crazy Eddie engaged in fraudulent business practices, including under-reporting income, skimming sales taxes, and paying employees off the books. These practices, in conjunction with aggressive sales tactics, enabled Crazy Eddie to significantly undercut competitors and grow rapidly. During the process of going public, Crazy Eddie continued to engage in fraud, over-reporting profits, inflating inventory and duping auditors. Unable to sustain his fraudulent business practices, co-founder Eddie Antar cashed in millions of dollars' worth of stock and resigned from the company in December 1986."
