What I am asking is, let’s say the investor moves to Raymond James from Bernie Madoff. When the assets (stocks, Mutual Funds, whatever) are transferred to Raymond James, is Raymond James not able to view the assets of when they were purchased and the original price? If they were able to, wouldn’t Raymond James say “these assets are not as shown on paper”.

They probably only gave them the option to move cash.

Madoff assets were specific to Madoff. You couldn't buy them at other investment firms. It wasn't like transferring SPY from etrade to Schwab. They would've had to sell, pay the applicable taxes and then transfer the cash.
