Having worked in a large bank I'd call it shocking but not surprising.

The rest, oh, apart from that Indian chappy who warned about it all, were pure, concentrated scum; pollutants in the gene pool of humanity.
Richard Fuld was particularly unpleasant, having his own lift at the office so that he didn't have to meet anybody on the way from the car to the top floor. A truly vomitworthy individual. There was a tale going around that just after Lehman went bust he went in the office gym for a run on the treadmill and one of his employees punched him in the chops. Well done that man, come to me for a few training sessions and I'll teach you how to punch him 5 times as hard.
What I found pretty disturbing, but again not entirely surprising, is how the academic community and the education of economics and business has been polluted by the kleptomaniac ideology of the same people. On the other hand, good that's come out in the open.
