After posting the last message, I came across the following news item.
Scott London was a New York based Senior Partner in KPMG. He is only 50 years old now, but has already ruined his career by inappropriately sharing "insider information" with a jeweller friend of his.
The criminal case against him is said to be airtight.
London's lawyer says (according to the Guardian), "London just can't understand why he did it. It makes no sense".
Confronted with the opportunity to make money, even otherwise thoughtful professionals are apt to become unethical. Maybe they are taking what they assume to be a reasonable risk. For every crook who is caught, hundreds may be going "scot-free" (unintended pun).
