> One can only wonder what a high-profile hacker can do as VP in such an organization
Short-term trading is not performed by humans nowadays; it's done by algorithms implemented by mathematicians and *software engineers*.
That's why it's called the "virtual/unreal economy": it's performed on a time scale far away from any human time scale and no one has any clue about what they're actually trading.

I cannot imagine someone with a long history of conflicts (on the negative side) and who is able to write documents in such an excruciating detail (on the positive) being a good politician.Perhaps Goldman Sachs maintains a large internal library for short-term trading and they don't want it to grow any larger...
