      I like the part where it’s like a zillion times more illegal than trying to overthrow democracy. The USA “justice system” is a joke.

        Most of the January 6th people seemed to get appropriate sentences for their involvement.

              Welcome to Lemmy, I see you’re new. You must be unfamiliar with how we treat capitalists and right wing scum here.

                  No no, it’s different because white people are bad.

                  Wait did I say the quiet part out loud?

                  Nobody should support or advocate for state sponsored violence and execution. Ever.

                  “The United States shouldn’t have entered WWII or sponsored violence through the lend-lease program that literally bankrolled the Allied war effort”

    Ironically, Viggiano and his team from the University of Tampa won a 2018 ethics competition

    Best part of the article.

    Points for creativity, I guess? I’m pretty sure a Goldman Sachs analyst can figure out how to do it properly, though…

        Aren’t trading floors mostly empty these days since trading is much more automated?

          Yes, but as long as human traders exist, there is a need to log all of their communication to prevent malfeasance

    Salamone tried to keep the lion’s share for himself and undid them all by recording the conversations. Conspiracies sure would be a lot more popular if everyone involved wasn’t a scumbag.

      I like what Robert Anton Wilson had to say about conspiracies and their life cycles:

      “[A]s far as I’ve been able to discover in all my years of being involved, more or less unwillingly, in this field, I cannot find any proof of any conspiracy that really existed, was really brought into court and convicted, that lasted more than ten years before everybody double-crossed everybody else and the conspiracy fell apart.”

        In fairness, there has to be some survivorship bias here: if the members of a conspiracy don’t double-cross each other and are competent enough not to expose themselves, it’s a lot less likely they’d ever get brought into court in the first place.
