Mardoff's son has interests in fly fishing businesses. This is son of Bernie Mardoff who scammed billions in a ponzi scheme. His one son committed suicide recently and other son's info is listed in this news clip from WSJ.
(a)It was shared interests in business that helped bring Andrew together with his fiancée, Ms. Hooper. Both were investors in Urban Angler, a New York fly-fishing store. Both are avid fly fishers.
(b) It also lists him as the current chief executive of Abel Automatics, a Camarillo, Calif.-based designer of fly-fishing gear, which Andrew acquired in 2007 with a group of investors that included Ms. Hooper.

I did contact Urban anlger and got a very cryptic feedback once. Just wanted to share this info
