HIH Aftermath - Does this guy ever give up?

[RichKid]

Full marks for perseverance but really, I don't know whether to laugh or scream in anger; you'd think he'd get the message by now, looks like you can't beat the entrepreneur out of him, and I thought jail would scare most people into submission: http://www.smh.com.au/news/business...he-rules--again/2005/12/10/1134086846117.html

Some people work hard to make money, some people outsmart other people to get the money, and it is hard to teach old dog new tricks.

He deserved all he got, but one thing got me thinking. A lot of people on this forum support themselves fully or partially by trading. If we got put in prison, the temptation would be huge to try and manage your investments especially if you had a family depending on you. The question is was he doing "business" or trying to manage investments.

That's a good point, Mit. I expect all of us when it comes to the point will do whatever we perceive it takes in the interests of our longterm survival.

Still, I find it hard to feel any sympathy for him.
