Ask HN: please critique my personal statement
Highly motivated to put Wall Street's criminal class in jail and strip them of their assets. The technical apparatus I'm building involves parsing through subpoenaed documents and records with a HadoopDB MapReduce cluster with RHIPE on each node for the statistical analysis of large data collections, among other specialized tools to detect widespread, systemic fraud. I have access to world-class experts in pattern recognition and logic. I'm fearless in the face of complexity and cannot be deterred.
