C+. 496 00:26:26,949 --> 00:26:31,398 We gave him every opportunity, but he just didn't produce. 497 00:26:31,587 --> 00:26:35,228 A year in Equities. Nothing. And that was during the bull market. 498 00:26:35,758 --> 00:26:40,503 So we moved him over to Fixed Income Paper. A lot less pressure. 499 00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:43,833 And there was no improvement?

But you can bet the ranch I would have wanted to find out. 517 00:27:32,548 --> 00:27:33,652 So would I. 518 00:27:33,716 --> 00:27:37,323 Surely our investigators would have looked into Mr. Greer's trading practices 519 00:27:37,386 --> 00:27:40,526 and evidence of his phantom trading would have inevitably been discovered. 520 00:27:40,589 --> 00:27:45,538 I agree. The financial records previously excluded can now be considered by a jury. 521 00:27:47,129 --> 00:27:49,632 He was at the scene, we've got his fingerprints. 522 00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:52,973 And with the phantom trades, we've got motive.
