Is this really possible or are they just finding a scapegoat?

I read that earlier today.
I'm calling bullshit. Unnamed, in thirties, gamed the system, unknown whereabouts etc. Seems like so much CYA to me.

Oops, I guess he's got a name now.
The article I read this morning didn't name him.

It is possible, but it seems very impalusible to me as th earticle I read said he did so without any financial gain for 'irrational' reasons. What? Nobody smart enough to defraud a bank for 7 BILLION bucks does so without any effort at financial gain. Unless they didn't do it.

There is more than one of them who has access to that much money. You might look at this little gem I posted. http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=3366765 I should have said hedge fund or bank. No this doesn't surprise me one bit. |

Very possible. Check out the movie "Rogue Trader", starring Ewan McGregor. It tells the true story of how one man single-handedly brought down the bank that financed the Louisiana Purchase. Fascinating story.

You just have to love the French. The guy was making too much in profits in 2007 that he had to try and lose money to off set the gains, but did too good a job of it. No wonder the liberals love the French. |
