Ask HN: please critique my personal statement

Highly motivated to put Wall Street's criminal class in jail and strip them of their assets. The technical apparatus I'm building involves parsing through subpoenaed documents and records with a HadoopDB MapReduce cluster with RHIPE on each node for the statistical analysis of large data collections, among other specialized tools to detect widespread, systemic fraud. I have access to world-class experts in pattern recognition and logic. I'm fearless in the face of complexity and cannot be deterred.



Personal statement for...?

I presume it's for a CV, but what kind of work are you applying for? At what level?


I think your motives are noble. But you should not underestimate the dark side. I doubt that you'll be able to really pin down the big shots. Maybe a few careless little helpers. But even that's worth the effort. Good luck, mate!
