I've long since grown tired of these sensationalist, populist, polemical, self-flaggellating, attention-seeking, pseudo-confessionals by ex-bankers (usually failed ones, although they'll rarely admit that, preferring to portray themselves as having quit for moral reasons, rather than having been unceremoniously fired), getting all angsty about their previous life as an evil, greedy, detached-from-reality monster. Geraint Anderson, Polly Courtney, Tetsuya Ishikawa, John Rolfe and Peter Troob - they're all just pale imitations of Michael Lewis's "Liar's Poker" (Frank Partnoy's "FIASCO" is a notably less-pale imitation), feeding the media's seemingly-endless appetite for new scandalous revelations about the behaviour of people who get paid lots of money. Seriously. Enough already! Disclaimer: I was an evil, greedy, detached-from-reality monster in a previous life.
