As I see it, the "offence" has no relation to your skills at an IT Contractor, nor is it a fraud case. Therefore, any client has no right to go poking around.Comment

Put some LSD in the water cooler at the investment bank. Bring your weed too, and when the traders start mumbling into their keyboards and trying to climb into the trading screens you can roll a few spliffs and calm everyone down.

I would advise explaining the situation to your line manager or to an HR rep to see what they suggest. _Some_ banks would terminate your contract on the spot, but others may be more lenient. You may get away lying on your declaration, but these things can take months, I couldnt stand the stress every time my manager asked for a quick word.
You'd be surprised how many people have dabbled themselves at some point in their life, and they realise that these things don't usually affect your work negativelyComment
