The piece reminds me of something I saw once about an ex con who went straight and put his drug dealing experience on a resume. He wrote it up in business terms that he moved $100k worth of product per year, arranged shipments, scheduling, etc and did it all in secret. I don't recall what kind of work he did after he went straight but my impression is he was pretty successful.

Except that being an ex-con means that at some point his standard NDA must have been insufficient/unenforceable... Or he made a bad hire, or trusted the wrong people. Just sayin'.
I do not understand why you would assert that. Anyone can make a mistake, ex con or not. So I don't follow your logic in tying the two things together. Do you think people simply cannot change?

Seems to me that he's saying it's obvious he didn't do a good job at not getting caught considering he got caught. Nothing really about people not being able to change. I may be wrong though, but hopefully that clarifies.
Um, I don't see that in the original remark. Hopefully the op will clarify.
Thanks.
mdda just meant: If he was really so good, he wouldn't have been caught.
The legal dept at bigco where I once worked indicated that emloyee fraud was most often reported by the ex girlfriend/boyfriend. The Great Wall of China was breached by bribery. Getting caught doesn't prove incompetence. And, again, I don't see that in the remark made.
Thanks.

Choosing cohorts that won't rat you out happens to be an important part of not getting caught. In the case of Ex's someone who won't hold a grudge or seek vengeance, bribery well pick someone who has morals, then make sure to pay them enough to make bribery a non-issue.
