"Rogue Trader" Nick Leeson plans comeback

Give the guy some room..he ended up in jail, lost his wife , suffered cancer, what the the fuck would you cynics have prefered he did...shag a kid then walk the streets after 2 years a free man.

It was only money....filthy lucre.

He's ok in my book, good luck to him.

Best of luck to Nick. I had never heard of a futures contract before him.

The fact that he's on his feet again, after the prison, the cancer, his first wife left him, he's one tough dude.

March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Nick Leeson, the ``Rogue Trader'' whose wrong-way bets on Japanese stocks ruined Britain's oldest merchant bank, said he may go back to trading full-time with only his own money at stake.

Well, since I blew up Barings Bank, I learned to pay attention

to the details."





No way, is that really you Nick?

Based on that interview with the guy who wrote "Ugly Americans"
Nick's understudies broke the bank working in Japan.

The movie was good, but it definitely did portray Nick as a piker, which was unfair I thought.
 
Quote from virgin:

I just went over the last posts of Nickbarings and he is looking for a forex broker, that is in line with what is written in the article :

"Leeson said he trades ``when I get the time'' and has been buying and selling currencies for the past few months"

Difficult to call this coincidence, so it looks like the real Nick Leeson is frequenting ET
