Despite more audacious and larger-scale incidents of rogue trading since the collapse of Barings Bank in 1995, Nick Leeson remains the most infamous rogue trader. How could one trader bring down the banking empire that had funded the Napoleonic Wars?
Leeson will address MBA students and speak frankly about what happened with Barings, the lack of accounting safeguards, his capture and confinement for nine months in a Frankfurt prison, and being sentenced to six years by the Singapore court for forgery and cheating.
