Justification of the title Fast Eddie Fast Eddie was a nickname given to Eddy Groves due to the luxurious lifestyle he used to lead in Australia. Additionally, Groves also loved exotic sports cars, which were quite expensive along with the huge amount of investment in other companies that got him the title Fast Eddie. If the lifestyle of Eddy Groves is considered then the title can be said to be justified while the professional acts performed by him in ABC Learning would not justify such title. As Groves was conducted with the professional misconduct and misused his higher position in the organization, title Fast Eddie cannot be said to be justified. Reference List Grant, D., 2016.
