An ethics board needs to go after this guy.

No, I'm sorry.

I know you don't know how to do this job, but that's your life now.

People will trust you until you figure it out.

Speaking of nominative determinism, Joe Bankman would be, I wouldn't trust Joe Bankman as a drug dealer, but I would trust Johnny Cocaine as a financial expert.

Like, like as a stockbroker, Johnny cocaine.

Yeah.

Let him invest my money.

He knows what he's doing.

Yeah, he does.

He does.

Now,

I people talk with like all about this guy, like he's so ethical.

He's such like a decent man.

He thinks so much about doing the right thing.

When the Washington Post is like giving examples of noteworthy things in his past, one of the ones that people talk about Ted Lasso.

In 2002, he wrote a tongue-in-cheek suggestion on how to avoid a major league baseball strike.

And his solution in this paper that's supposed to be a joke was to levy taxes on teams and players who struck that could only be avoided if the players donated money to charity or the teams agreed to sell nickel hot dogs to Giants fans.

Now, I don't know what the joke is here, but it apparently tore it up among upper middle class Ivy League finance academics.

They all talk about this as very funny.
