You worry about how your kids are treated at school. If you aren't banned, maybe you're trading your own money, but no one will talk to you.
So while you might be able to avoid the horrors of being locked up inside, you can't escape the guilt and shame of being a snitch. It seems like when someone decides to cooperate and become an informant, they are still serving a sentence: a life sentence. He told his friends it was to spend more time with his family, but everyone knew the truth. I never really trusted Jerry, but now it seemed like no one did. The word on the street was to avoid him at all costs. This guy, Jerry, had already been assumed guilty by his peers. I was no longer working in the business and it seemed punitive. It's not the first time I'd been warned about talking to a certain individual, but this caught me off guard. "And if you have to … Be very careful what you say." "Have you talked to Jerry lately?" my friend asked. It was a strange request, considering he always keeps his door open he always wants to hear what's happening on the trading floor.

After I made my way past reception, I weaved in and out of the trading desks to his wide open, brilliantly lit corner office.

This is what's on the table: cooperate and become an informant or go away for a very long time. The good news is that your house wasn't raided while your wife and kids were still in bed (this happened to Mike Kimelman), but the bad news is they want to talk to you - and your life just changed forever.
