None of Nick Leeson's colleagues at Barings met quite so extreme a punishment as Singapore's Changi jail. But the rogue trader's activities led to the destruction of many glittering careers.
Peter Baring, Barings' chairman and once a leading patriarch of the financial world, will be remembered as the man who presided over the collapse of a firm his ancestors founded two centuries before.
Unsurprisingly, he foresook the Square Mile, as the City of London's financial district is known, and retreated to his country estate, where he lives in quiet retirement.
At least Baring escaped censure from the authorities. Many others were on the sharp end of Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) investigations into their roles in Barings' demise.
Among them was Ron Baker, head of debt financial products and effectively Leeson's immediate superior, who was disqualified as a company director.
So were Geoffrey Broadhurst, head of the banking group at Barings Investment Bank, Tony Hawes, its treasurer, and Anthony Gamby, the director of settlements.
George Maclean, group head of banking and a Barings employee for 30 years, also received a boardroom ban. Little has been heard about any of them since.
Others are known to have restarted their business careers. James Bax, regional manager of Barings' southeast Asia operations, was disqualified as a company director for four years for "very serious failures of management," and was accused in a report commissioned by Singapore's finance ministry of "trying to divert investigations by the external auditors."
Bax eventually moved back to his native Scotland.
After getting a four-year DTI ban, Peter Norris, the former chief executive of Barings Investment Bank, turned up at John Brown Enterprises, publishers of the adult comic Viz.
He later worked for the private equity firm New Boathouse Capital and got involved in film finance.
He also advises Sir Richard Branson and Virgin on corporate matters.
Andrew Tuckey, the former group deputy chairman, has bounced back impressively from his DTI ban.
Always a highly rated corporate financier, he has worked as an adviser or consultant to blue-chip institutions like Lloyds, DLJ, Credit Suisse First Boston and Bridgewell Capital.
At Bridgewell, he recently advised GWR Group on its ?337 million takeover by Capital Radio.
Few emerged completely unscathed from the Barings meltdown, however.
Even Ian Hopkins, the group treasurer whose warnings of the danger in Singapore went unheeded, ended up with a five-year DTI ban, and a severe reprimand from the Securities and Futures Authority.
Mary Walz, former global head of equity derivatives in London, did not suffer the full effect of the affair until later. Up to December 1996, when she failed in her attempt to sue ING Barings for a pound ?500,000 bonus she said she had been promised before the collapse, Walz had come through relatively untouched.
Despite being accused in the Bank of England's report on the affair of failing to check on Singapore trading, Walz had evaded a SFA ban on taking senior City jobs.
After failing to get her bonus, however, she was given a DTI ban and is believed to have since returned to her native America.
Nor was the Barings experience a happy one for Coopers and Lybrand, its former auditor. Now part of PricewaterhouseCoopers, it was reprimanded by the accountancy watchdog and only escaped a ?1billion negligence lawsuit by settling for an undisclosed sum in 2002.
‘WORLD’S CHIP GATEKEEPER’: Advocacy groups urged the US justice department to investigate Nvidia, saying it had ‘bullied its way into a prominent investment position’ Antitrust tensions are heating up in the chipmaking industry, as rivals have accused Wall Street darling Nvidia Corp of abusing its market dominance in selling chips that power artificial intelligence (AI) — and the US Department of Justice is now investigating these complaints, technology news site The Information reported. The news outlet, which cited unnamed sources familiar with the discussions, said that justice department officials are looking into concerns that Nvidia is potentially cornering the market and pressuring its customers to unfairly retain business. That includes allegations of Nvidia threatening to punish those who buy products from the Santa Clara, California-based tech
The US is considering unilateral restrictions on China’s access to artificial intelligence (AI) memory chips and equipment capable of making those semiconductors as soon as next month, a move that would further escalate the tech rivalry between the world’s biggest economies. The measure is designed to keep Micron Technology Inc and South Korea’s leading memorychip makers SK Hynix Inc and Samsung Electronics Co from supplying Chinese firms with so-called high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, people familiar with the matter said. The three firms dominate the global HBM market. US President Joe Biden’s administration is working on several restrictions aimed at keeping vital technology
August Chuang believes the best thing she can personally do to protect her homeland from a Chinese invasion is to buy Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) shares. The 31-year-old Taipei office worker has 70 percent of her domestic assets in the world’s largest chipmaker. It’s been a good investment, with the stock more than doubling since she first bought shares in 2020. But this is more than just a financial decision for Chuang. “TSMC has turned Taiwan into an irreplaceable high-end technology supplier that other countries can’t risk losing,” Chuang said. “That deters China from invading Taiwan. So the stronger TSMC
YEAR’S FORECAST UNCHANGED: Although the firm plans to introduce a new flagship mobile processor, its customers are being cautious about inventory management MediaTek Inc (聯發科) yesterday reported an 18 percent quarterly decline in net income for last quarter, saying it expects a lukewarm third quarter. The smartphone chip designer’s second-quarter net income fell to NT$29.96 billion (US$912.41 million) from NT$31.66 billion in the first quarter, but on an annual basis it jumped 62 percent. Earnings per share last quarter dropped to NT$16.19, from NT$19.85 a quarter earlier, but rose from NT$10.07 a year earlier. “We see revenue being flattish in the third quarter, because some customers are still consuming their inventories,” MediaTek vice chairman and chief executive officer Rick Tsai (蔡力行) told an online investors’
