Pirate Code? I don’t think that kind of honor exists anymore, at least not on Wall Street.

There was “honor among thieves” and pirates held to their “code of ethics” mostly in fear of the consequences. After all they were pirates and the punishments for violation of the “Pirates Code” were severe: death, being marooned on sand bar islands, cast out in small row boats alone, eyes plucked out, tongues cut off and other equally horrid penalties.

Wall Street needs penalties
