Like you, we’ve been mostly fascinated by the scale of Bernard Madoff’s crimes, leaving the anger for another day. Now, that day has arrived! According to the Chron, the JEHT Foundation, which financed research and legal work on criminal justice, had its assets managed by Madoff.

Too bad there’s no hell, Bernie, ’cause we sure would like to see you roasting in it.
