Finance professor discusses bachelor party

In class today, our beloved professor was showing us some articles on the Wall Street Journal web page when someone asked him to click on the story about a bachelor party. The party was for an influential trader at Fidelity Investments, and is being investigated by the Securities Exchange Commission for improper gratuities from Wall Street firms in an attempt to get Fidelity's business.

My professor then added "when I was younger, I wanted to be on Wall Street. Now I am just glad to not be part of it." Another student pointed out that this investigation was sparked by a picture taken at the party. The professor's reactionw as "if you are doing anything unsurly, don't take pictures."
