For those not old enough to remember...Nick Leeson

This guy took down the United Kingdom's oldest merchant bank in 1995...

A good quick read...

 

A video about the story...Funny and sad at the same time.

 

Read the book several years ago:

 

Good movie (Rogue Trader 1999) with Ewan McGregor.

 

Haven't seen the real man before, just the actor from Rogue Trader. Man he looks (looked) completely irresponsibly nuts in reality.

 

Have the DVD as well.

Quite the cautionary tale.
