Boudicca 702 Posted October 19, 2005 Cunning linguists are always popular. I've only just noticed that. Reminds me of a colleague who was always getting her words muddled. She once had an attack of this whilst asking a shop assistant for a "Stunt Kite". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Peter Barings Posted January 24, 2008 Monsieur Kerviel makes our Mr Leeson's antics look like a schoolboy losing his tuck shop money, n'est-ce pas? Nasty Nick looked pretty chipper on TV today, the thieving little arsewipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,195 Posted December 28, 2020 So while you are considering your lists for 2021, you can look at this article from April: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8243377/Rogue-trader-Nick-Leeson-boasts-doing-stock-market.html Either you can say good luck to him for overcoming a hitch in his life and moving forward. Or you can say you hope the bastard dies for profiting from others' misery...again. The decision is yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally hope the bastard has a slow and painful death. Several of the substantial loans we made to Baring's we weren't able to recover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Upper-class nepotism in their being in jobs of any genuine responsibility. If any bank deserved to get Leesoned, Barings was most certainly it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Several friends got made redundant at the time as a result of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His ex-missus was reduced to waitressing in a tea rooms in Maidstone - I doubt if he's seen fit to share his new-found prosperity with her either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
