What it found that March was anything but routine: Madoff's numbers simply did not add up. Société Générale immediately put Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities on its internal blacklist, forbidding its investment bank from doing business with him, and also strongly discouraging wealthy clients at its private bank from his investments. The red flags at Madoff's firm were so obvious, said one banker with direct knowledge of the case, that Société Générale "didn't hesitate. It was very strange."
