CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE, HAIRY RISK TAKER

Hairy and Freelance Thinker agreed to meet at America’s oldest gentleman’s club, Iwan Ries & Co., located at 19 S. Wabash Avenue, Chicago, IL... Since 1857, the third floor of Iwan Riese has served as a quiet sanctuary for the brainstorming of men of distinction. Hairy was a long standing member with a private locker filled with Cuban cigars and rare single malt Scotch whisky. After they were settled in comfortable leather chairs in a secluded corner, clinked crystal whisky glasses and lit some very fine cigars, Hairy said, “Tell me more about ‘Sociopath Insurance’.”

Harry replied, “It’s a fascinating concept that could make you rich and famous; and help improve the World’s quality of life, if you can make it happen. It might even make you a hero. Mental health professionals refer to sociopathy as a non-correctable disfigurement of character that afflicts 4% of the population. These people have no conscience and are capable of extremely immoral acts. They are masters of manipulation. The problem is that a sociopath is almost impossible to recognize before they have hurt you, and sometimes, before they kill you!
Hairy said, “My God, these people are hidden terrorist!"

“Yeah, and not only that”, said Harry, “They wreak havoc on our economy.”
“How the hell do they do that?” asked Hairy.
“Simple, because they have no conscience, they are good at stabbing people in the back and rise to the top of the financial services industry where they do harm. Consider this: U S bank JP Morgan Chase has agreed to a record $13 billion settlement for misleading investors during the housing crisis. Although the settlement concludes the government’s civil investigation, a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice is continuing! And consider this: The European Commission has fined eight banks a total of 1.7 billion Euros for forming illegal cartels to rig interest rates. 

Big banks and big insurance companies are almost always run by these insane Sociopaths. We need to do something about this!”
