So would you have considered Bernie Madoff successful?

  If his goal was to amass personal wealth at the expensive of others. But again, it depends on the person. A cab driver that barely makes ends meet can be successful while a multimillionaire isn't. If you wake up and do what you want to do, you are successful.

  He was successful, then failed. The two are not mutually exclusive. He clearly set out to make a lot of money with his scheme, and he did that successfully. Then he failed.

  Absolutely the man was a pioneer of the graft that is payment for order flow. His biggest mistake was living too long if he had died a year or 2 earlier he would have gotten away with it
