I don’t think there’s any reason to direct vitriol towards this poor, broken woman or her shattered family. Bernard Madoff will die in prison, haunted by his memories. Their family name will be stained for generations. They’ve suffered enough.

We should do the Christian thing, which is to be charitable and forgiving. Life goes on, after all, and in the end, their crimes, though massive in scale, were simply about money. Bernie Madoff isn’t the first person in history to do something terrible because of greed, and he certainly won’t be the last. What is certain though, is that every night he goes to bed surrounded by prison walls with only his own thoughts to keep him company. I’m sure that there isn’t a day that goes by that he doesn’t wish he could take it all back and that his son was still alive.

We should pity him, not hate him.

(But for the record, I’m completely appalled that the surviving son is trying to prostitute his family’s shame for profit through a book.)

"We"?

You collectivist shills just cannot keep from using that word, can you?

Combined, of course, with your interpretation of Christianity.

"Just money"? No. Lives - thousands of lives were immensely harmed, some even destroyed.

Go organize some ants, you mind-screwing creep.
