Great read from Philip Greenspun on rules and their eventual manipulation:
Enron worked out very badly for investors and average employees, but it was a great place to be a senior manager, some of whom are now among the wealthiest Americans (e.g., Lou Pi walked away with $250 million and become the second largest landowner in Colorado).
You make rules, and people inevitably find ways to bend and twist them.
It’s human nature — from my kids “accidentally dropping” their vegetables on the floor, to baseball players injecting HGH thinking it’s a vitamin shot, to presidential elections.
