I get the impression traders very deliberately don't put things like that in email explicitly so it can't be proven.

There's a scene in one of my favourite movies Margin Call

"I'm well aware of the fucking time Sam, I'm telling you, you need to see this"

"See What? Email it to me"

"I don't think... that that would be a good idea...."

"I'm on my way"

Yeah, that's the smart hollywood impression of what would happen if people were thinking, but often it looks more like this:

>Senior RBS Yen Trader: its just amazing how libor fixing can make you that much money

And these messages weren't using some burner phones found in a raid, these were messages through their bloomberg terminals.
