You watch a movie like All the President’s Men and you think whistleblowing has got to be the coolest thing in the world. Then you read an article like this one on Cracked and you realize that it’s not so much fun at all. At least it wasn’t for Linda Almonte, a former exec at JP Morgan Chase. She didn’t even want to be a whistleblower––she was just doing the same kind of work she was doing past several years––spotting banking errors. Although this time, she disobeyed orders and didn’t green light a banking error that would have made the bank $250 million dollars and the execs a ton of bonus money.

So, she got fired, right? Oh boy, and how. She got fired, she’s being followed by PIs, she’s got decades of legal battles ahead of her, and she probably won’t work again. The details are actually pretty gory. You should read them.

You mean corporations aren’t responsible?
