Continuing off topic - on the subject of greed, way back in the dot com area billionaire Philip Anschutz purchases US West, renames it QWEST and brings in super Joe Nacchio from AT&T , I'm running a professional services group at the time and had several Oracle DB developers - in high demand at the time. So we meet with the QWEST IT they want my guys but then we had to meet with Nacchio's right hand man to discuss terms - this guy has a lightning quick mind (possibly on drugs) and quickly states - I'll get you guys in here, but I get 15% under the table. Gem of a guy . Super Joe eventually gets convicted of insider trading - dumping his stock while telling employees to keep investing in it , he serves 4 yrs in prison. We walked, didn't want to do biz with this sleazebag.
