Many people believed him and gave him a lot of money, but he spent almost all the money for himself. He couldn’t pay back the money to some people. While he was taking money from the people, he collected more then 64 billion dollars from them, and when people tried to see their investments, he used a fake screen computer with ponzie scheme software to present a false investment. This way is similar to Tom’s investment in that, they both were greedy, and acted like friends to people, and made them think that they would become rich. On the other hand, there were many differences between Tom and Bernie.
The idea was to protect the owners of companies from lawsuits. Actually the rich saw it as a way to lower their taxes, fool the uneducated, and to be irresponsible for their cheating and lies. Wal-Mart, which started out selling all American made products, soon started selling products made in sweatshops in foreign counties and we the people did not care and we scooped up the bargains. Now, these Super Corporations, who answer only to the board members and owners, cut the employees pay, use part timers to avoid benefits and count their billions while families are starving. We the people allowed these corporations to get the upper
When corruption occurs it damages the reputation of the employees and the business. Society relied upon this firm to assist in making them money but the firm was more concerned with their bottom line. Many of the individuals doing business with these firms lost their life savings and destroyed some of the trust that investors have with the Wall Street firms. It makes people have second thoughts about investing in the stock market. Another effect this unethical behavior had on these organizations been they agreed to pay a penalty of over $1.43 billion dollars as compensation to the victims.
Even though his own brother committed the sin, he knew it was wrong no matter who it was: "Maybe a jury will cut him loose. I wont. By god I wont” (143). Knowing most of Wes’s family is against the fact that Frank should not be punished; Wes puts his emotional feelings aside and grows up. Just by one fault by the closest man in his life, Wes realizes he has changed in better ways as things have gotten more complicated: “ My father stood for moral absolution ” (144).
Grandpa Bobby tells his story: some people offered him a job smuggling emeralds from South America, but later double-crossed him, tried to kill him, and stole his beloved fishing boat. Ever since then, he's been trying to track them down and get back his boat. It hurt to think that everyone thought he was dead, but it was necessary. First, he didn't want the guys he was looking for to know he was still alive; second, he also knew that if his son found out, he would, true to form, drop everything and rush down to South America without another thought. Grandpa Bobby was in a bar in a small fishing village in Colombia when he saw Paine's interview on the satellite TV.
The blogs he wrote made people lose a lot of money. He may not know what means to manipulate the stock market since he was too young. the S.E.C suited him for stock graud('33-7891") because the S.E.C stood in the side of law, which means there was no exceptions no matter age, sex or race. Also, his father supported him while he was breaking the law. He lied, made people lost money and even made chaos in stock market.
He is a victim of favoritism, and because of never being the one with the attention he has learned not to be like his bad father and his brother by teaching himself what is right in others eyes, not the eyes of his dad. At the opening of the story, Wes is described as a “boring” sheriff of a small town in Montana. Wes had attended law school but forcefully had to take over his father’s position of county sheriff. It was evident that this was not an ideal position for him. Because of his position rather than his brother’s, he experiences jealousy and is a victim of favoritism.
Jim also displayed the image of father that would give up his own life for his boy when stayed with Tom after he got shot. The doctor saw it and was grateful for “a nigger that was a better nuss or faithfuller, and yet he was resking his freedom to do it” (289). Huck took on a father type roll when he decided he was going to educate Jim with stories about kings and such, but respected Jim when he just didn’t get about King Solomon, “So I went talking about other kings and let Solomon slide” (155). There can be no dispute about Huck pulling in and risking his life, as well hell, “to set a free nigger free” (292), just as a father would do for his son. What was different about the relationship of Huck and Jim is that it was not expected by society, but it was based on mutual respect and trust that earned.
Huck should have told the officials about the runaway slave, Jim, immediately as he found him. Yet throughout the story Huck grows a strong bond with Jim which is unheard of in those times. Jim gets taken and Huck debates on trying to save his friend or let a slave go rightfully. “All right then, I’ll go to hell” (Twain 214) This is one of the most powerful statements in the book because its Huck accepting the fact that he is willing to go to give up his immortal spirit in order to help his friend, Jim, and do what is right. Huck completely now views Jim as more than just property, but as a person.
