Heh, yea, they glorified this kind of activities in the (very good) movie.. I think it was very realistic, very powerful, many truths in there although sometimes received as a joke... When I watched it in cinema I knew who were traders because they laughed (to tears) to some of the (inside) jokes when most of the people were just clueless why was something funny at all.. The movies was a good "popcorn" for anyone since there are many non-financial jokes also..
Anyway, I think part of the reason why movie was so good (at least to me) is that they really get the whole idea and glorified it to the point that some people wanted the exact lifestyle/activities It seems that the producer really BROKE the "4th wall".... so to "export" the movie activities in the real world Maybe he found something about the possible "can not be caught" laundry deal... while researching for the movie and said.. well let's try this in the real world

Maybe the Battery went out for Aziz... Since the movie is almost old now... he might actually be good at it, since it took them to get him

PURE GOLD(en truths):
