    Too bad they can’t add negligent homicide onto the charges against Madoff.

    May God have mercy on his soul.

    how about at least involuntary manslaughter, #1?

  4. Chris Molter says:

    #3, something. anything to try to reflect the gravity of the wrongdoing. It’s not like Madoff didn’t KNOW what he was doing was going to ruin a lot of lives.
