Abstract

I will never believe I have done anything criminally wrong. I did what is business. If I bent any rules, who doesn't? If you are going to punish me, sweep aside the system. If I am guilty, there are many others who should be by my side in the dock.1Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.2
