  Unlikely, there's a reasonable chance you could face jail time if you were caught doing such a thing and probably wouldn't be able to work in the financial industry ever again. So your upside would essentially have to be a huge amount of money, but of course you're much more likely to get caught if you're moving around such a large sum.
