"All of my remaining days, I will feel tremendous sadness"

[shance]

Is Jack Abramoff laughing under his breath at Americans while he says this?

He sure wasn't feeling tremendous sadness while he was engaged in a spider web of crimes.

3. It sucks to have pushed all that cash, then not be able to use it.

Poor Jack. Maybe he'll learn how to influence peddle for anal sex in the big house.

5. On the other hand...

I do think that corrupted thugs do feel intense emotions after being caught--because when they are
riding high, they feel next to nothing. They become sociopaths.

Getting caught causes them to crash to Earth.

Just like most criminals, corruption-mongers and other perpetrators--they don't live in the real world. They get a high from the money, power, corruption, life of luxury and their popularity. The high leaves them focused on the gold and unable to see straight.

Getting caught causes a crash--much like a drug addict who is forced to go cold turkey.

Do I feel sorry for him? No.

However, I do think his feelings are probably sincere. I bet he does feel sadness and a host of other emotions. He probably hasn't felt anything real for quite a while. Most of his feelings--right now--are probably stemming from the loss of his money, power and prestige. Remorse--if it happens at all--will come later.

It's hell becoming human, isn't it Jack?

he'll go home to his family, roll naked in the money he hid in the back yard, and then give his five kids a lecture on how "crime is never worth it".
