You will go to IB analyst jail, be banned from the industry and eventually hell when you die. j/k Relax, I'm sure you'll just get a sharp scolding and it will all blow over. Trust me, I have accidentally been sent all sorts of sensitive information. I have accidentally sent a few things early in my career as well. My advice for when you're moving fast is delete all to/cc etc. while you're drafting the email so you can't accidentally send something before you have triple checked everything. I'm sure it will be ok, try not to freak out too much.

something my dad always told me after i fucked up majorly in school or at work and was waiting to be screamed at was "they can't kill me and if they fire me i get to go home". Always makes me feel a bit better about the situation at hand
