Chthonic asks: What's the naughtiest thing a boss has ever asked you to do? And did you do it? Or perhaps you are the boss and would like to confess.

Although the Eye performs a useful service, it's a long way from being a reliable source of fact. While bankers in an IPO are fundamentally motivated by their fee, and anyone who fails to realise that when reading IPO material is a gibbering idiot, they're unlikely to try illegal stuff as policy. Why bother, when you can make enormous fortunes without the chance of jail?
Bankers who do *proveably* criminal things are usually junior-ish, acting solely in their own interests, and often trying to cover up a disastrous fuckup (like Nick Leeson). If you're senior and rich, then you know how not to be proveably criminal.
