On his motives: "What motivated me to do these trades was . . . above all making the bank gain money. This was my foremost motivation, and I never meant to become rich."Since his motives were sincere, should we then just forget about this and move on?
I think that this kind of behavior points to a problem that is not often addressed. People cheat because they feel that the end result is more important. Look at the political races. Clinton and McCain have both lied repeatedly in the 2008 campaign and yet they are the front-runners. When will society begin to hold a higher standard?
If the end is really that important, consider John Huntsman. His personal worth is close to $10 billion. He wrote a very nice little book based on his business experience called, "Winners Never Cheat" It takes less than an hour to read and is worth every minute. It even has a foreword by Neil Cavuto of Fox News and Fox Business Channel.
