Don't even get me started about alarm bells and banks.  About 25 years ago 
a dishonest bookkeeper was able to steal almost $100k from a small 
business I owned at the time.  There were dozens of warning signs visible 
to the bank (this came out during depositions), but they brought none of 
them to our attention.  Banks want all the glory and profit while taking 
none of the responsibility.
