How He Created a $1.4 BILLION SCAM | Nick Leeson & Barings Bank

Описание: Nick Leeson.
The rogue trader who brought down Britain’s oldest merchant bank with a single account.

In this documentary, we dive into one of the most infamous financial scandals in history: the collapse of Barings Bank in 1995. What began as a few small mistakes hidden inside an “error account” exploded into a £827 million black hole that destroyed a 200-year-old institution.

This is the story of ambition, unchecked power, and how one man fooled London and Singapore — until it was too late.
