Do you think the people dismissed at the direction of the criminal prosecutors as part of a prosecution that also caused their employer to receive a fine nearly equal to its annual pre-tax income got generous severance packages? And, beyond that, do you think that, that the reason they left their last job -- including the condition imposed on BNP Paribas not to rehire them again even indirectly -- has no impact on the employability elsewhere in the industry?
