This analysis diminishes certain facts of the Madoff case. Madoff's son killed himself due to stress related to the fallout from the scandal, meanwhile strongly denying involvement the whole time. Moreover, Bernard himself will die in jail.
So in fact, I think the reverse is true: he would trade 100 years of glory to have even a day back with his son. And even if he doesn't have remorse for the scheme itself, I can't imagine he sleeps well knowing that his crimes directly led to his son taking his own life. Maybe I'm ascribing too much humanity to him, but I have to imagine he lives in, or very near to, hell.
