Patrick: Madoff is nearly 71 years old, and won't live long enough to serve out his prison sentence. His ponzi investment scheme stole amazing amounts of money from Jewish charities, and ruined the finances of many individual investors. I'm tempted to recommend torture for as many years as he lives; but, instead, I'll leave him to Divine Justice.

I confess I'm not feeling moved to pray for any mercy for him.
