The Ex-Banker on Cocaine Binges & £600k Bonuses | Informer

 By hook or by crook, a look inside the City of London banking industry.


"It’s an industry that rewards psychopaths.”

 

As the global economy is potentially looking at a deep recession due to COVID-19 just after recovering from the 2008 financial crash, we hear from an ex-banker who worked in the City of London’s Square Mile from the mid-90s to 2008.

 

He lifts the veil on the sordid world of investment banking where he enjoyed thousand-pound meals, sex parties with colleagues and £600k bonuses for “pushing around bits of paper”. He believes psychopaths in suits gamed the system while damaging society in the process. 


Informer is a series where we hear the anonymised confessions and insights of people in positions of power on the inside of important institutions.

I read somewhere that psychologists have actually done tests on senior bankers and found they have an above average level of psychopath characteristics. Same goes for politicians probably.

"sex parties with colleagues"

???

Were they screwing each other? Or were they renting women (Melania types)from s
Slavic countries to receive the screwing? More clarification would be nice, K ;)

Btw, I was asking for Trump family :)

Then why aren't those institutions under direct government control if they are so important?

Or why aren't they completely private so as to not hold the economy hostage? So they can be allowed to fail?

They're under a direct government protection racket.
