I was thinking we should get Mel Brooks to play Mo Brooks in Mr. Brooks goes to Washington.

Also, I like the part where other people taking the test were aware of other people cheating, but did not report them which is also an ethics violation.
at my last bank, the manager made sure that all of the sales people did our annual mutual fund licensing exam at the same time so we could help each other.
I was the only one with an investment background, so i was tasked with checking people's work before they submitted.

in hindsight, i could have done some pretty serious damage if i wanted to watch the world burn. lol

if you are going to cheat on corporate training, it might as well be on the ethics quiz!


These are some of the types of things I would get called in to investigate at a previous employer (a bank). One day it was noticed that an entire department absolutely aced an AML (Anti Money Laundering) exam. Every single one said they just studied really hard because they took it seriously. They asked me to see if there was any indication or discussions of cheating.

I found a text file on everyone's desktop explaining how to view the HTML of the page serving the exam to get the right answer. It identified which popup each answer gave - correct/incorrect. Something like 50 people were either fired or written up.

Then my employer tried to sweep all that under a rug which made for a second really big investigation. This time with the regulators.

I believe the prior accounting firm that got nailed for cheating they found that all the employees had to do was change a couple digits in the web address.

As in it was something like www.test.com/yourscore=xx
(sorry it turned into a hyperlink, can't figure out how to turn that off)

So people who got a non-passing score just had to update xx to be an 80 or 90 or whatever and it would register a passing score. Hilarious.

I am unemployed (start a new job in July) and Mrs 43 is back in Maryland dealing with a sick mom and a dad who doesn't appreciate anything she does.



I am bored and need suggestions on stuff to do.

Has the Supreme Court made it legal for coal rolling cousin fuckers to kill cyclists for sport yet?

Maybe I should while I still can.
