Won't Somebody Please Think of The Traders??
Manage episode 416406929 series 2851541
The Société Générale Delta One Desk is back in the news after two traders were dismissed - accused of placing unauthorized risky options trades.
Kavish Kataria – one of the traders in question - attacked the banks leadership with a LinkedIn post on Thursday saying the “entire risk team and other bosses” were equally responsible for the trades and complaining that his bonus had been withheld.
The Delta One desk that Kataria worked on is the same trading desk where rogue SocGen trader Jérôme Kerviel caused a $5.2 billion dollar loss in a 2008 scandal that caused the US Federal Reserve to cut rates to stabilize markets.
SocGen told Bloomberg News earlier this week that two people based in Hong Kong had left last year — a trader and a team leader — after a “one-off trading incident, which didn’t generate any profit impact and led to appropriate mending measures”.
