Nope. I think he already has something and knows it. The scam was coming to an end and he figured he's going to croak so they hid any evidence the boys knew about the scam and then had them turn him in. They get away and he goes to prison for a little while before his ticket is punched.

i'm not a conspiracy guy, but this one makes sense to me.

He is not eligible for incarceration at a white-collar crimes prison according to one of the talking head DA's on the tube.

UPDATE

Bloomberg has a special section on their site dedicated specifically to the Madoff case for those of you who would like to follow what is happening with this situation.

I don't understand why people (hedge funds, banks, etc) that pulled their money out of Madoff's fund before it imploded, are being sued to give it back?
Should people that sold their real estate holdings before the bubble burst have to return the money?

Cheaters to prey on Bernard Madoff
Quote:
“Whatever (Madoff hid) offshore, I think he’s going to get cheated out of,” Markopolos told a conference yesterday at Boston College, his graduate-school alma mater.

“If I’m his private banker in Panama, (I’m thinking): ‘I know Mr. Madoff isn’t getting out of prison to collect the money, and I know his family denies having anything to do with this scheme, so they’re not going to show up, either. So guess what: It’s my money now.’ I call that ‘cheating the cheater’ - and that’s sort of poetic justice, I think.”

So, there's like money floating around in the ocean, off the shore?
