Alexis Stenfors, a currency investor at Merrill Lynch, was stripped of his authority to trade last month after the discovery during a review of its British operations.

More proof that these banks were absolutely riddled with testosterone poisoned type A pieces of excrement.

Nothing will change until we have public hangings.

i completely agree. i went from a large hedge fund to a large swiss bank and the differences between the people were enormous. at the hedge fund the people were smarter than they appeared while at the bank the people were just full of sh*t.

I bet almost all bank traders are net negative when taking a prop position and without a salesforce behind them and huge credit lines they couldn't even handle flow.
 
What's really annoying is that you could smell these guys 10,000 miles away, and the regulators were counting sheep. Or was it sheep counting.
