Why do they fingerprint you in a S&T/brokerage firm?

Hello,

I just got an offer for a boutique investment bank for an internship but I will be in their S&T team.

They said I need my fingerprint to be inked because I'll be in their S&T team, any idea why? Thanks.

not for me - my on boarding adviser was an old janitor with really coarse hands and judgmental eyes named Willie Stroker.

Usually they don't do it at the actual bank. You sure? Mine was at a UPS like most are done.

They want to track how far you'll run after your first 2 weeks on the job.

This is why the Blackberry's have GPS tracking. The finger prints go deeper than the FBI, i.e, NSA, NAMBLA, etc.
