Dick the Unethical Stats Analyst: The idiot that counts fraudulent numbers

Brand Killer Robots reveal::

Like a spider driven by an invisible force doth Dick the stats analyst crawl through the web of his various numerical repositories. Like a superhero doth he weild the figure models in his head. Slicing and dicing the data into tangiable morsels of value that can cause revelations on the executive top floor.

Only Dick has the key. Only Dick knows how the data should be integrated with the perspective to make sense. Like a greedy spider doth Dick the stats analyst cling jealously to his throne. Sharing out only the fragments of his knowhow that make him feel safe. Sharing in such a way that appears to be in the company's interest, when exactly the opposite is true.

Like a threatened spider doth Dick the stats analyst resist the truth of his ways.

The truth that Dick is not working in the company's interests

The truth that Dick knows that he has been found out

The truth that Dick now wishes to cover his tracks

So cover his tracks he did.

Like an ignorant spider, doth Dick the stats analyst still count numbers

Still crawl through repositories

Still weild figure models in his head

Still slices and dices data into tangiable morsels

Still causes revelation on the executive top floor

Had Dick not been so dirty, so deceitful, so frightened!

Dick might have noticed that the data was under investigation by the serious fraud office

And decided to take a less ill informed route

Insurance bosses jailed for fraud

revealed the kinds of psychology that can unfold inside UK insurance companies.

Below is an article, care of the BBC that provides further evidence of the kinds of executive threat that can exist within these companies. Much of which is less to do with intent to deceive for personal gain and more to do with attempting to keep the ship afloat long enough to save it from hitting the rocks. Only to find that you do hit the rocks, but instead of living to fight another day - you wind up in prison.

A former insurance chief has been jailed for seven years after being convicted of defrauding investors. Michael Bright, 63, was in charge of Independent Insurance when it collapsed in 2001 in one of the industry's most high-profile insolvencies.
Finance director Dennis Lomas received a four-year sentence. Deputy manager Philip Condon was given three years. A jury had heard how the trio masked the firm's financial problems by withholding details of claims.

Week 1 CEO Email to all staff: "Dear everyone, I just wanted to say as your CEO how happy i am with everyones contribution this year. I believe that we are well on the road to acheiving our goals in 2006 and with greater effort in the last quarter, breaking through the £50million premium".

"Special thanks go to Don Simpson who as you all know has been with the company more than 20 years and will shortly be undertaking a part-time role, because of ill health".

"Don has been a great servant to the company and we will miss his integrity and loyalty to the cause".

We cannot say any more than this is now a police matter and we will be in touch in due course".

Who would ever want to be a CEO of an insurance underwriting company?
