    But even this has got limits - if you are sniffing cocaine on your salary then you'd have to earn it in some other place, not my bank. Work in a bank should not be get-rich-quick scheme, it's hard stuff and clients should expect very good behavior from people who get paid their money.

    The bank should be keeping their money safe - my rules would ensure that all risky employees go work for someone like Lehman Brothers, which is fine by me.
    Newsflash ... no one would work at your bank.
