Being a narcissistic sociopath isn’t illegal.

It’s not about race, nationality, or religion.

It’s about a lack of empathy, remorse, or conscience — masked by charm and ambition.

📍 So why are they disproportionately found in top financial and corporate power structures?

Here’s what the research says:

🔹 A 2010 study in the journal Behavioral Sciences & the Law found that 1 in 25 corporate leaders meet the clinical criteria for psychopathy — compared to ~1 in 100 in the general population.

> (Babiak, Neumann, & Hare — the developers of the Psychopathy Checklist)

🔹 Narcissistic and antisocial traits are positively correlated with career success in hierarchical, high-power environments, particularly investment banking, political lobbying, and executive finance.

> (Paulhus & Williams, 2002 – The “Dark Triad” study)

🔹 Why?

Because these systems reward risk-taking, deception, and self-promotion — not empathy, long-term ethics, or communal wellbeing.

It's a system flaw, not just a people flaw.

🔹 These individuals exploit opaque incentive structures, limited accountability, and weak internal oversight — all of which are baked into fiat financial systems.

💡 The result? Moral hazard becomes career strategy.

🧠 It’s not about blaming — it’s about understanding why these traits survive and thrive in fiat institutions, and why Bitcoin or cryptographically enforced systems (like BDD-verifiable contracts) disincentivize manipulation through transparent, rule-based logic.
