The way he escalated faked credentials (the forged contract) into better credentials is great and a topic of great interest for computer security today. Using current political climate as a driver for operational security is genius.
The plan to gain control of the central bank in order to clean traces of the fraud was amazing too. How many other similar plans succeded ? Should we start looking into changes of control of similar institutions in other countries ?
I like to point that Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank, with the notable task to deal with Greece's debt problem, used to be at the head of Goldman Sach's division responsible of the loans toward countries exactly at the time when Greece was cooking its books.
Also worth pointing out Mario Draghis son was also a European Sovereign Credit/Interest Rates trader at Morgan Stanley before he left to join a hedge fund a few years back. No such thing as inside information outside of equity markets! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-08/giacomo-d...
