I won the Managing Director competition and it apparently broke my save.

So, looking around the forums, every time I see the Managing Director competition comes up, there's multiple replies saying it's impossible to win it.

Except I did. I then got tossed on trial, found guilty, and, after the trial, the screen goes black and stays black. There's background noise like I'm in the office. I let it sit there for probably a half hour to see if anything happened, but it did not. I tried reloaded, etc. Always a black screen.

So I'm wondering if I won it via a bug (or found an exploit that I didn't realize was an exploit) and it just completely broke everything because it's not supposed to be possible to be Managing Director.

Just curious if anyone else has managed this or knows for sure what's happening. Because with the amount of money I had, it felt like the game was just starting to get really fun. (Manipulating the market just by putting in gigantic buy or short orders, for instance.)
