Wall Street and code of conduct !!

I came across this on the Net.

A fellow Ernie Paragallo was convicted last week, fined and sent to jail for two years (the maximum penalty) for starving and neglecting many of the 177 thoroughbred horses on his upstate New York facility. Judge (George J. Pulver Jr.) at Paragallo’s sentencing had this to say “Your moral compass is out of kilter and points you in improper directions…Your sense of integrity, your code of conduct, your perception of right and wrong was perhaps formed by your days on either mean streets or Wall Street.” (emphasis mine)
