Larry Levine, who advises white-collar criminals, isn’t afraid of publicity—last week he claimed to have been sought out by Bernie Madoff.

It’ll chronicle consultations with clients about “going from the exchange floor to the prison yard,” including “prison cooking techniques, prison exercise techniques, and how to make hooch,” Levine says. As for the pitch, “In today’s economic climate, people are going away for the first time more than ever,” Santora says.
