Holy shit, I'm scared shitless...
« on: December 20, 2013, 07:04:29 PM »
I found out yesterday, in a very indirect way, that the company I currently work for (a major financial services firm) has been breaking the law for pretty much the past 5 years on 30% of all trading activity.

I did a rough estimate calculation and the amount of money transacted illegally is astronomical.

I am scared shitless because I did most of the paperwork behind these deals, unaware that what I was submitting was illegal.

I am thinking of bringing this up to the SEC.

What!  An unethical financial services firm.  No Way, couldn't be.  Don't worry, white collar criminals rarely do time.

Honestly, the criminal activity took place when the shitheads in the trading desks were selling the illegal stuff to the buyers.

I'm like a cab driver who drove a mass murderer around in Manhattan, blissfully unaware that this guy was murdering people in the mean time.

You don't think you are over reacting comparing white collar crime to mass murder.

Fucked up thing is that only I and my manager know this shit is going on.

He is taking this rather lightly and diffusing the issue as much as we can saying that he's got the legal folks involved but... nothing happened. And I suspect nothing is going to happen because this fucker, I suspect, is getting money under the table for keeping his mouth shut.

I'd talk to a lawyer and give hypothetical scenarios that fit you, get his answer and go from there.

Might be a good time for some blackmail.  Some hush money of your own could be in order.

Dont worry white collar criminals go to nice jails with tennis courts and they are mostly wimps, so if your muscles are big you will be the one doing the ass fucking and making them your bitch.

The trading department (all directors and VPs) and my asshole boss, who is the one who accepted to do all the paperwork behind these deals and is also a director.

I am not a director.

Traders will sell internal organs in the US if they could. They do not give a shit about anything aside from making money.

I personally think my manager is actually getting the legal department involved to make sure his ass is not in trouble. It's gotta be! If compliance actually finds out this sort of shit is going on they will storm out department like swat.

CYA bro.

I actually think I'm OK.

I didn't know the product they were selling was specific to certain people, not to everyone.

I was not aware of this until I found out indirectly.

If you do find an attorney, and what you say is true, he will not be happy that you posted this information or anything in regards to the situation on an open internet forum.

In the future, when you run into what you think might be a serious legal/fraudulent situation, the best thing to do is say nothing to anyone except for your chosen attorney... behind closed doors. He will inform you that you are NOT to speak to ANYONE regarding your situation.


Now, the second thing, because it is obvious you have not been involved in this kind of thing before: Make sure that the attorney you choose does not have any association other than strict business with the opposition.

These guys make money off of eachother. In other words, if you are paying an attorney and there is $100,000 at stake, and you stand to either 1) lose and face jail-time or 2) win and receive an award ~ the opposition can easily pay off your attorney while you take the fall, if they stand a good chance of losing their case.

This is no conspiracy. These guys are all in bed together and have usually seen eachother in court numerous times. Possibly even on the green, or in fancy restaurants and strip-clubs.

You can't trust your attorney any more than you can trust yourself. It's their business and they are good at making money. Whatever means possible. They are slick.

The larger the company, the better the defense.

Mouth shut. Keep your attorney in check. Visit him (or her) often and continually know what they are doing in regards to your case.

How do I know? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Good luck.
