Was Bernie Madoff's family guilty?

I just can't believe how so many people in Bernie Madoff's family worked for him, close members: his two sons (which turned him in) who worked in the trading sector of the business with Bernie's nephew, his younger brother Peter (was Senior Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer), his daughter was compliance attorney, and probably a whole lot more in Israel. Also note: Massachusetts regulators also accused her of withdrawing $15 million from company-related accounts shortly before he confessed Madoff's wife Ruth agreed to forfeit her claim to US$85 million in assets, leaving her w. $2.5 million in cash.[http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124623418258366507.html] Madoff had initially requested prosecutors to allow his wife to keep about $70 million in assets held in her name, arguing that these were unconnected to his fraud. In most criminal investigations the families are the FIRST to undergo interrogations but in this case it seemed like his sons turned him in, they said ok, came to get him, left his wife with 2.5 million and nothing more said. I think his family has money sitting somewhere out of the country and will use that to buy their way through the system and hey, quite possibly use his 'cancer cells' (though it is said to be shot down), SOMETHING done. It doesn't make sense that his closest family worked alongside him, his sons turn their father in and get off free. How could they live with themselves if their wasn't some scheme worked at the time they probably realized the FBI was on their tail..
