Explain to me how a guy surrounded by Jewish people at Goldman Sachs could rise up in the organization and leave as a vice president of the company, if he was truly anti- Semitic.

He would have to be a better actor than Ben Kingsley and Laurence Olivier combined. After Goldman he worked in Hollywood btw.

Perhaps he pivoted after he left Goldman Sachs? Plus there's many examples of people who have managed to keep their beliefs and/or outside lives well away from the people they work with. Many serial/spree killers have had someone quoted afterwards saying they were the nicest person and you'd never think it, etc. It really doesn't require great acting.
So you are remotely diagnosing and mind reading... Cool.
History shows that you'd only need to be as good an actor as Mel Gibson.
He'd have to be better. Think about it...
No luck figuring out what reason you have in mind. Want to explain?
Gibson got caught. So for anyone else to not be caught they would have to be better than Gibson.
Oh. No, he didn't get caught because he failed at acting, he got caught because he forgot to keep the act up while he was drunk.
