Comment Comment by helsinkiandrew Matt Levine put this as a great idea for a lucrative job in his Bloomberg column (where hedge fund can be replaced with any company):> Take a job at a hedge fund.> Get handed an employment agreement on the first day that says “you agree not to disclose any of our secrets unless required by law.”> Sign. Take the agreement home with you.> Circle that sentence in red marker, write “$$$$$!!!!!” next to it and send it to the SEC.> The SEC extracts a $10 million fine.> They give you $3 million.> You can keep your job! Why not; it’s illegal to retaliate against whistleblowers. Or, you know, get a new one and do it again.https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-07-15/openai...
