If they really though there was fraud, why wouldnt they have taken a huge short position and reported to the SEC, accelerating the winddown process. This is what saba did with the JPM whale trades, they took a huge CDS position and reported the "whale", making 100mm+.
They didnt do this because a) they didnt know about the fraud, or b) didnt want to hurt their clients.
Everyone likes to point the finger at someone else, but if you were buying madoff structured notes /investing in madoff and knew nothing about the fund and did no research, it is your fault if you lost money.
