Yes there are plenty of unethical people in banking. But I sense what you're getting at is if anyone did anything illegal - and that's a firm no. There's plenty of articles about why this field attracts ppl with these traits but in sum, long hours, intense work, competitive drive and having to deal with the usual corporate bs are too much for most ppl so many of those that remain are self-selected for these undesirable traits. Not wanting to put GS in the spotlight but a lot of the negative media press focuses on them - vampire squid, Jamie Higgins book, recent settlements, 1MDB scandal etc. If you wanna see more in depth about it look up Tim leisner for 1MDB and there's videos of ex-GS MDs at Stanford who gave a talk about this with verified info. Long hours and sub-par work conditions result in a lot of "hungry" people who stay and high attrition rates. Ofc some say banking has a lot of psychos but imho that's a stretch - lack of empathy may actually be confused for those with autism which is higher in banking. Hope that helps. Lmk if you have other questions and would appreciate silver bananas. Good luck!
