Powell's Technical is like a candy store for computer books. I think I'll go there today and support them.

What you're thinking of would be an ethics test or an ethical code, neither of which would hinder this guys progress. Possibly a pre-employment pyschological test could have caught his stance on things, but those are far from 100%.
