airborne Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just watched the movie about Nick Leeson, the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank and caused an estimated $1.4 USD Billion dollar loss. I noticed things very similar to Peter Keating. "Promise me you'll love me no matter what" when faced with greetings and people congratulating him he felt very bad/guilty, tried to push off the compliments he resorted to drinking and would come back home throwing up what started as a small lie to cover one of his traders loss just grew bigger until it turned into a account into the hundreds of millions, in fairness though he wiped out the loss the first time but he figured he could keep speculating on losses with the banks money next time He was sent to a singapore prison. These days he is a general manager of a football club in Ireland, wrote a book about stress and is a demanded speaker. He certainly must know about stress because he's 40 and looks like he could be my grandpah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
