AHC: Bernie Madoff caught

.... for being a terrific financial manager.

Simple AHC in theory, where noted con artist Bernie Madoff is never found out, and his Ponzi Scheme goes on and on, or alternatively ramps down after the recession, and comes to a halt on his own terms, with him ending it on a good note (with everyone being paid out).
 
If everyone pays out, does that mean that he went legit and got lucky? Because by the nature of it being a Ponzi scheme, he wouldn't have nearly enough money to pay everyone their full amount owed.
