I've been offered a job with an offshore wealth management firm. They exist to make the rich richer by usury, and I could tell from the job interview they are skating on the edge of legality. It's nothing blatantly fraudulent or illegal, but they expect a battle with the regulators.

So I was going to say no to them, but now I'm reconsidering.... if I refuse to help them that doesn't particularly harm them, but maybe I can do some sort of inside job?

Could I rob them, and then report them to the feds to stymie their attempts to come after me? I doubt their security would be bad enough to make that easy. Maybe some sort of whistleblowing? Any creative ideas for exploiting the exploiters?

    Just be careful. Rich people will do insanely evil shit if their wealth is threatened.

    Remember that journalist that published the Panama Papers that was killed by their car exploding and nobody ever went to jail nor anything neither because of the Panama Papers nor the journalist assasination?

        Nobody went to jail in Iceland, the prime minister at the time resigned, which was good because he's our version of Trump.

    Could you funnel some of your pay to guerrilla movements within or without the imperial core?

    Helping a hacker or anything like that is far more illegal than anything to do with wealth management. You'll go to jail while the wealthy would just get fined. Your best bet is to do a real half-assed job, go home on time and take good notes on the shit that's going on, and figure out what to do with the notes later. Maybe you'll get to submit them as evidence, maybe you'll just post them here to bitch about them. Obviously don't ever take those notes to work or mention them to anybody at work.

    I can't outsmart their technical team on cybersecurity and pwn then that way. But maybe if I allied with a hacker I could be the inside man, use my access to plant an exploit on the system

        Getting their trust would probably involve doing illegal stuff yourself, which they can use aganist you.

    Probably don't rob them... its definitely not easy/legal to set up some where of offshore what you wouldn't be sending what you aren't skimming in a numbered account... absolutely not worth it... not one bit.
