NICK LEESON
Leeson is a former manager with England’s Baring Bank. He later became a rogue trader while heading up the Singapore Division of the company. After originally earning huge profits for Barings through several illegal trades in 1992, Leeson eventually lost over $1 billion in company capital while hiding the losses in a little-used errors account that was hidden from his superiors. Most of the rogue trades occurred in the futures market, where his losses multiplied quickly in the final weeks before he fled his office.
