What's the point of a comment like this? It just undermines the value/integrity of your earlier one.

You're also missing that the executives personal interest dont per-se align with those of their parent. So its quite possible for an individual to undermine both the public and his employer with a single go.

Various rogue executives illustrate this point without much recourse to google. But say nick leeson at baring kind of jumps out, and then the scale of what was seen in the past 5-7 years makes that look like childs play.

You might also find this "of intellectual interest"

...Or, not.

But the issues are far deeper--extending for many years and at many levels--more than just a single example taken out of context.

WRT Executives interests not necessarily aligning with their parent - absolutely true. And yeah, I probably should have been less abrasive.

Can you double-check your link? I tried following it but it just links to this thread.
