You cannot make this shit up

Fabrice Tourre, the former Goldman Sachs trader convicted on six counts of securities fraud six months ago, will teach an honours class in economics at the University of Chicago this spring.

Jesus fuck.

Tourre is literally the only banker convicted in the 2008 Financial Crisis. The only fucking one. Just imagine how bad you'd have to be to be the only person not to get away with destroying lives of millions of people?

Just unbelievable.

I taught long enough to resent this saying, but "If you can't do, teach" seems to be appropriate here.

True (and I do try reserve that statement usually for the next line, about those who can't teach having to teach gym.)

Bon mot

Look on it as a sign that no-one's prepared to pay him to be an investment banker.

It's also economics, not ethics.

Well, at least he's not teaching a course on ethics.

There is not enough WTF in the world for this.
