who cares? put me in GS prop desk years ago with power and i'm not going to be afraid to take risks (maybe after 1 year of networking).....and then triple down, do whatever.....it's not your debt, so who cares. take a few 100 million bonuses and then really gamble. do it big.....life is short. if you fail, take your 300 million and ... who cares what you do. give seminars for 500k a pop!!!
