other as a massive traitor. The man who brought banking powerhouse

the scene and making money once more. This time it’s ever
bit as controversial to some, but justified through hand history
and witnessing players. The insider information is this; Leeson

council estate, who failed his final math exams and left school
with a mere handful of qualifications. Nonetheless, in the early
1980s, he landed a job as a clerk with royal bank Coutts, followed
by a string of jobs with other banks, ending up with Barings,
where he quickly made an impression and was promoted to the trading
floor. Before long, he was appointed manager of a new operation
in futures markets on the Singapore Monetary Exchange. Aged only
26, the whiz kid was trusted by his bosses back in London, who
viewed with glee his large profits.
