Oh the poor, poor pitiful entry level employees. They are certainly getting the brunt of the examples of ignorance in this book. This is a point that Steve has made painfully clear. TRAIN those entry level employees until you run out of money.
It seems as though much is said about the con and how to commit these crimes. In great detail I might add. What about the punishments? You can not have the crime without the punishment. What is the author doing to detour this behavior. He does suggest safe guards along the way and I know he gives many solutions in the end, but the consequences would be nice to hear along the way. I read about Steve's time in the 'big house' on the Internet. What about Bill the bank robber that wanted to retire at 24, Joe Harper the 17 year old trill seeker or Anthony Lake the lazy businessman? Where are they now? Behind bars or behind lap tops finding more ways to scam us?
The Kurt Dillion story made me think if we could hack into the 'turnitin' web site we would have an artillery of academic resources at our mouse tips. More fun might be to get a hold of someones case study before they turn it in. This is not too hard because many of the MBA's leave their blackboard up on the computers in the lab. I have even seen a credit card account up on a screen one day. True story, ask Jenna. Once we have acquired the paper before they turn it in we could post some of the material on line. Then when they 'turnitin' it will come up as a stolen piece of material.

I agree that a lot of detail is written regarding the cons. This will help managers who read this recognize a con before it occurs. However, it can also serve as a manual for social engineers who attack managers and firms that were not fortunate enough to have read this book. It seems like this book is therefore somewhat of a liability for the business world.
i completely agree...these poor entry levels employees are tyring so ard to ft in and then what...they screw up, give out the business assets and basically ruin the company. Thats a lot of stress.
