JONATHAN ALPERT: These people are risk-takers; they're impulsive.<br />
{JONATHAN ALPERT IS A THERAPIST WHOSE CLIENTS<br />
INCLUDE MANY HIGH-LEVEL WALL STREET EXECUTIVES.}<br />
It's part of their behavior, it's part of their personality. And that manifests outside of work<br />
as well.<br />
It's quite typical for the guys to go out, to go to strip bars, to use drugs. I see a lot of<br />
cocaine use, a lot of use of prostitution.<br />

{–THE OWNER OF THE V.I.P. CLUB IN CHELSEA, WHO ESTIMATES<br />
THAT ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF HIS CLIENTS ARE WALL STREET TYPES.}<br />
{ANDREW LO<br />
PROFESSOR & DIRECTOR<br />
MIT LABORATORY FOR FINANCIAL ENGINEERING}<br />
ANDREW LO: Recently, neuroscientists have done experiments where, uh, they've, uh,<br />
taken individuals and put them into an MRI machine. And they have them play a game<br />
where the prize is money. And they noticed that when these subjects earn money, the<br />
part of the brain that gets stimulated is the same part that cocaine stimulates.<br />

JONATHAN ALPERT: A lot of people feel that they need to really participate in that<br />
behavior to make it, to get promoted, to get recognized.<br />
NARRATOR: According to a Bloomberg article, business entertainment represents 5<br />
percent of revenue for New York derivatives brokers, and often includes strip clubs,<br />
prostitution, and drugs. A New York broker filed a lawsuit in 2007 against his firm,<br />
alleging he was required to retain prostitutes to entertain traders.<br />
01:46:05.24<br />
JONATHAN ALPERT: There's just a blatant disregard for the impact that their actions<br />
might have on, on society, on family. They have no problem using a prostitute, uh, and<br />
going home to their wife.<br />
