What a wholly and entirely appropriate word....bankster.

Always happens, Ron. If you founded something and ran it ethically, and you're were good, decent person, those who come after you inevitably never live upto the standards you set. Most of the time, they turnout to be just like everyone else...in it for themselves. That's why there's so much trouble with the financial system. It's full of self serving, greedy wannabe empire builders and their mold/scum grubbing sycophants. They play with other people's money that they have no right to, deal in fiscal ghosts and bases of/for currency that have no real existence and have a complete disregard for ethical behaviour and responsibility for their own decisions and actions.

Great men and great deeds are always followed by those feeding off the crumbs left behind and corrupting everything else which follows on.
