His sons did not "turn him in." They were complicit and eventually contacted authorities when their father revealed that the firm was completely bankrupt.

While the sons were never formally charged, they were suspected of involvement. One killed himself and the other died of cancer before the investigation was wrapped up.

Close to two dozen people were eventually charged, many went to jail, and JP Morgan paid $2.6 billion to settle their involvement.

And that $2.6 billion is behind bars to this day. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

His sons did turn him in - your own comment says as much. The public evidence suggests they turned him in as soon as they learnt of it.

Neither son was even charged.
