Lies are subject to various interpretations other than that. Personally, lying in Wall Street depends on how we define “lie”; in monetary conditions, business plans, with the conclusion, again, that these lies are -not- downplaying and affecting to others by any means whatsoever



This logic makes no sense whatsoever. If you are misrepresenting financial material then almost by definition you’re screwing over someone somewhere… even if you’ll never meet them or know them personally.

In many ways your comment sums up what’s wrong with Wall Street–this idea that it’s perfectly fine to manipulate the system and rules for ones personal (or ones company’s) gain so long as you never really see or know of the people that are getting screwed over in the process.
