In his view, there were only two ways to explain the figures—either Madoff was <a href="/wiki/Front_running" title="Front running">front running</a> his order flow, or his wealth management business was a massive Ponzi scheme. This submission, along with three others, passed with no substantive action from the SEC.<sup id="cite_ref-60Minutes_88-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-60Minutes-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>88<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-89" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-89"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>89<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the time of Markopolos' initial submission, Madoff managed assets from between $3 billion and $6 billion, which would have made his wealth management business the largest <a href="/wiki/Hedge_fund" title="Hedge fund">hedge fund</a> in the world even then.

This result produced a return stream that rose steadily upward with almost no downticks, represented graphically by a nearly-perfect 45-degree angle.
