He got to keep the money even though he got convicted for wire fraud?

I think the wire fraud was probably something aside from their main activities -- like how Al Capone got put away for tax evasion.
Also the estate is presumably still open to civil suits.
How do you think most estates started? Profiting off crime and leaving it to their family. The fundamental problems of capitalism include exactly this scenario.
