What's so stupid to me in this case, is they made a paltry amount considering how much was under management. Manage 3 billion, make 20 million with an m. I mean, that wasn't even 1% for their shareholders. Obviously they enriched themselves, but they could have been doing that the whole time by frontrunning their clients with the amount of money they could put to work.
Some Sri Lankans make a few $million illegally and end up in jail. Goldman rapes 300 million fools for $billions every quarter and gets away with it. Hmmm.
