Chinese Students: 'We like how you guys were making money, and profiting immensely without benefit to others, how did you do that?'

Wharton Profs: 'Yeah, we've found that does not work so well.. at least for the last few months. I guess if you do not want to provide value to others you could figure out a good way to steal.. that has worked before'

Chinese students, to each other: 'Thanks for nothing..'

Wharton Profs, to each other: 'They seem to have the notion that because all of our students are making huge iBanking bonuses, we can tell them how to make a fortune without delivering any kind of value. Surely they could not have learned that from us?'



I don't quite follow: how were the profs making money without benefiting others? Profs don't make that much money, or do they? Also stealing was just one of three ways for getting rich they suggested.

I can't imagine business schools are to blame, much more likely seeing people get rich in banking is to blame.


Very nice. Sums the realization up well. I guess the real people they will benefit from meeting will be the remaining Gecko Gordons (if any).
