<<I wonder what the chevra think about Madoff's sons turning him in?
He's a major criminal so they did the right thing?  Dina demalchusa?
Or mesira? What about kibud av?   What should a person  do if he finds
out that his father is a goniff?  Minor tax  cheat?  major investment
fraud?>>

Om a legal basis if they did not turn him they could be brought to
trial as accomplices. Even now I would not be surprised if someone
sues them on the basis that kids must have known
