There's something about wolves and henhouses swirling around my brain right now...

Isn't this a case of letting the fox mind the hen house?

I was thinking wolves instead of foxes, because wolves are bigger and more powerful, as well as more ravenous - which pretty much describes Wall Street. :)

Actually, it seems a pretty good fit. Storch was VP of Goldman's business intelligence unit, which reviews contracts and transactions for fraud, so he knows what to look for. To reach that level at 29, he must be pretty sharp. Anyway, finding people knowledgable about the ins and outs of the market who haven't worked in it is pretty much impossible. So maybe instead of 'fox in the henhouse' it's 'set a thief...'.
