with securities fraud, turned in the night before by his sons after he told them
his entire business was “a giant Ponzi scheme.” <<</DIV>

<DIV>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? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS Is this a hashkafic or a halachic question? I don't know.
But my visceral reaction was: his own kids turned him in?! That's
disgusting!</DIV>
