| The global economy has been described as a house of cards. Now a deck of cards featuring the major players in the credit crunch has gone on sale in the United States. The Financial Crisis Most Wanted Playing Cards include the top card, ace of spades Bernie Madoff - who conned investors out of $65 billion USD in the biggest financial fraud in US history - and a three of a kind, in the form of US car company chiefs. "It's about capturing a moment in time," entrepreneur Jason Witt, the man behind the parody deck told a US newspaper. Witt, 35, hopes he will turn a small profit from the fiscal mismanagement of folks like ousted General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner and sacked Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain with the $5.95 USD deck, for sale on his website, www.financialcrisiscards.com.
