Ernie before being a trading wizard,initally asked questions about the economy ,such was his expertise and used it to get wealthier and richer.
So much so he earned trading as a hobby,not a compulsion becoming the Stork of WarEra(Wolf of Wall Street ref)
many players accepted his craft and moved on,but some became anxious of his skill,jealous even.
So ,as Ernie was earning,he was being watched and he just so happen to walk into a crime scene,he had a gun and therefore got prosecuted,but when they found his gun the caliber didn't match
Nothing did,they searched through while the Stork was kept in custody.
when they couldn't find anything, they searched his family,friends and neighbours and before anyone knew,they were searching every citizen's wallet and grocery list of his country.
eventually after much time and resources spent,he would leave due to lack of evidence,However after his realise he would ask an audit of his evidence of insider trading and grounds of his arrest.
Time passed and in realization that he isn't the only one,he realised a very large tragedy would be needed to question not just his,but everyone's safety and rights today and tomorrow.
