Or, in this instance, the Congelese?

Scott Greenfield has the goods on a hilarious slip-up by Marc Litt, the lead AUSA prosecuting Bernie Madoff. In submitting victim statements to persuade the judge to detain Madoff pending sentencing, Litt (or, more likely, his staff) chose to include this letter:
