A Case Study on ‘Satyam Scam’ Accounting Scandal: When the 2008 recession hit the world, India was not only going through a financial crisis but also an ethical crisis. The firm was worth $1billion in 2003. The foundation of the metro plans was laid in the year 2003. Its financials too were perfect.
As such, even the most ethical taxpayers may feel anxiety about these reports, since they may end up being punished despite the best intentions. In 2014, an 87-year-old, retired specialty-glass importer faced more than $2 million in penalties for failing to disclose a $7 million Swiss account which dated back to the 1960s.

It has to be such a different set, the retirement planning is different, the safety net is different. People in Spain when I was growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, they expect to just retire and have the government give them like a paycheck every month. BERRUGA: This is 2003. RITHOLTZ: So you move here from Spain. RITHOLTZ: Yeah.
RITHOLTZ: So you launch your own firm IDW in 2003. I’ll have to be when I retire and publish under Anonymous. We are seeing the older generation begin to retire, you have Ray Dalio stepping down at Bridgewater, you have a lot of managers who are now in their late 60s, early 70s or beyond. RITHOLTZ: People will figure out.
And so, I was doing that in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004. So it’s unusual though to have that much work ethic, that much drive and say, yeah, I want all the investors to have the money. RITHOLTZ: You made my retirement …. RITHOLTZ: (Inaudible), right. BALCHUNAS: … is really what we — we did. And in 2006, I got a hand at ETFs.
Get ready for a ride as we examine it from all angles: regulatory, ethically, intellectually, etc. If we are comparing them to the Utopian idea of what a fraternity of ethics and competence testing should be, then we should find a way to implement it because daydreaming about what it ought to be is less useful.
I mean, there were some advisor pickup, but you had to be kind of on the front edge of finance, or a quant, or running your own models, which in 2003, was not that common. Let Mr. Market do his thing and we’ll find out how we did when we get ready to retire. NADIG: Yeah. RITHOLTZ: We’re just going to put our money.
