OK, how did he invest billions without anyone seeing the problem? I mean, the exact same thing wrecked a venerable old British bank 12-ish years ago....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well not exclusively, I figure you are also made of spice and everything nice.
Indeed! Thank you.
But if you are a salaried employee, isn't it possible that your work gets an extra day out of you too?
Mine does! Because we get paid twice a month. If we got paid every two weeks, it would all come around in the end. Right?

Although, I guess you could say we get paid extra in February no matter what?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I heard that before he became a trader, he worked in the accounting department, and therefore knew exactly how to hide his finances.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
There is a leak directly onto my desk, which I can't move due to all kinds of network cabling. So I have a wastebasket on the desk to catch the drips and have to stand up and reach around it to use the phone. It's going to be a looooong day.
I am made happy, however, by Liese house news! Yay!

And we get paid once a month, a base salary so we get screwed. Though it's possible since we only work X number of school days that it might not actually be like that. I'm not sure. And it's hard to get really all worked up about it enough to actually investigate it. There are too many other obvious irksome things, like the fact that I'm still paying back $4K.

Stop looking at it from the Man's perspective!
Tom, I thought he worked in risk management and that's how he knew to manipulate the system. Bummer that he lost all of the money. But if he had made money and cashed out (not the entire total but the earnings) would it seem so bad?
