Excerpts from Michael Lewis's new book Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt:
That's from the memoir Serge Aleynikov is writing. He was the only man who got arrested after 2008 crash for the crime of stealing computer code from his former employer Goldman Sachs !!
If the incarceration experience doesn’t break your spirit, it changes you in a way that you lose many fears. You begin to realize that your life is not ruled by your ego and ambition and that it can end any day at any time. So why worry? You learn that just like on the street, there is life in prison, and random people get there based on the jeopardy of the system. The prisons are filled by people who crossed the law, as well as by those who were incidentally and circumstantially picked and crushed by somebody else’s agenda. On the other hand, as a vivid benefit, you become very much independent of material property and learn to appreciate very simple pleasures in life such as the sunlight and morning breeze.
