I'm working on a small theatrical production
(basically a skit), and I want to include four male characters as a kind of group, with last names that recall major business and financial scandals. So far, I've got Andersen (Arthur Andersen Co., the Enron accounting firm), Keating (Charles Keating, Lincoln S&L), and Milken (Michael Milken, the junk bonds guy).

Other names I've considered: Lay (don't think "Mr. Lay" will work), Boesky (the names should be more-or-less WASPy), McDougal (but Jim McDougal was a small-timer, he doesn't really fit the pattern), and Stewart (but all four characters are male).

Any suggestions? I am looking for names that will be immediately recognizable as representing major business scandals as last-names-only.
