Perhaps another way to consider it is wrt to state laws on possession of stolen property. The people cashed out early in a Ponzi scheme are in some sense in possession of stolen money. State laws vary as to how this is treated (amount can change the crime from misdemeanor to felony, and laws also vary widely on the effect of knowledge about the property being stolen). For some states, simply getting too good of a deal seems to be indication that you have reason to think the property is stolen. In that case, plenty of these Madoff investors had reason to think so as well.
