Answer:

Both the banker and the lawyer corrupted by greed because they make a bet. The banker has a lot of money and the young lawyer want to earn that money by winning the bet.

Explanation:

Because of greed, the young lawyer bet that he will spent 15 years in the isolated room and if he wins the banker give him two million rubles. Due to his greed, he loses his precious time in the isolated room and realized that money is not important than precious time.

Example; There is a person who steal millions of money from somewhere and deposit this money to his closest friend. The police catch him and he got jail for 10 years. When he comes out of jail after 10 years, his friend refuses to give him the money so the man killed his friend. Due to greed man loses precious time of his life while his friend lost his life.

According to Peril, all of these stereotypes are outdated - but they still somehow sustain because the patriarchal model that is at their core sustains and survives.
