The customer account statements for Bernard L Madoff Investment Securities were notoriously old fashioned computer printouts. [1][2] There was some coverage with a former client, I can't find now, where he even talked about the appearance of the statements encouraging trust.

I wonder if Bernie Madoff researched it, or if it just came with a con man's intuition.
