[轉載] 法興瘋狂交易員隱暪炒股虧蝕560億
3 questions on the article below for SG:
1. How can the trader cause such a massive loss all by himself? I find it v. hard to believe. At the very least he had to convince the bank's Treasury Dept. to fund (send him money to carry out) his loss making trades over a long period of time (06-07). The Treasury people may not have deliberately helped him in the fraud, but no one noticed that a lot of money is being flushed down the toilet all this time??
2. The bank's chairman thought the trader's objective of the fraud was not for personal gain. What does he mean? That guy had obviously started by making a much smaller loss, and then tried to change his luck by making ever bigger bets and hoping that he got it right the next time. He didn't ever get things right. The objective was to get a big bonus, or at least keep his job. What other objective could there be?
3. Nick Leeson, the notorious ex-Barings trader, caused the equivalent of US$1.2Bn in trading losses by fraud and spent 4 yrs in prison in Singapore. This guy lost 6 times that amount (US$7.2Bn) and all that's happened to him was he got fired!!!?
Article as follows:
【明報專訊】 英國霸菱銀行遭「神奇小子」利森拖累倒閉的大醜聞,13年後竟在法國「重演」。法國第二大銀行——法國興業銀行,一名年約30歲、年薪少於115萬港元的交易員凱爾維埃(Jerome Kerviel),去年在旺市中大手沽空歐洲股市期指,今年初淡市時又大手買入歐股期指,結果在完全「睇錯市」下,難以置信地輸掉法興49億歐元(約560億港元)。這宗大醜聞昨午約3時發布後,觸發本來反覆上揚的港股突然大跌;加上昨日傳出的「港股直通車」傳聞最後原來是「美麗的誤會」,令恒指昨日收市倒跌550點。
有144年歷史的法興銀行昨向客戶發公開信,指銀行成為「一宗嚴重內部詐騙的受害者」。銀行表示,上周末19至20日期間發現巴黎分部一名期貨交易員詐騙,於去年至今年初連番買賣歐股期指而大幅損手,令法興損失49億歐元。以法興現時市值約350億歐元(約4018億港元)計算,該名交易員令銀行資產蒸發逾一成。法興打算控告這名交易員涉嫌偽造銀行紀錄,並使用有關紀錄,以及從事電腦詐騙。
元兇認詐騙被炒 法興尋625億注資
法興主席布東(Daniel Bouton)表示﹕「事件是一名獨自行動者在公司內部利用法興的工具設立隱蔽企業,並且掌握信息,避開所有控制過程。」法興拒絕公開該名交易身分。消息人士透露,他年約30歲,8年前加入法興,年薪連花紅少於10萬歐元(約114萬港元),並非「星級交易員」。稍後有外電報道他的名字為凱爾維埃。他已承認詐騙,銀行將把他辭退,並對他採取法律行動;其主管亦被解僱。工會消息人士說,他進行交易時並非用自己戶口,相信他的目的並非謀取私利。
法興在公開醜聞時還宣布,因次按問題而需撥備20.5億歐元(233億港元),銀行將在未來數星期內尋求超過55億歐元(625億港元)注資,彌補損失。
昨日「消息市」 恒指波幅1488點
這宗遠在歐洲的消息,昨打破港股繼續反彈的好夢。受到「港股直通車」或許啟動的消息刺激,港股早段快速向上,一度升超過800點。下午3時後,法興突然證實上述非法交易後,港股旋即急轉直下,最後以23539點收市,挫550點,全日高低波幅1488點,為歷來第三大點數波幅紀錄。
至於本港法興會否受事件牽連,法興發言人沒有直接評論。本港證監會 說有留意法興事件,會密切留意事態發展。
亨達集團研究部董事黃敏碩認為,大市欠缺實質的利好因素支撐,短期仍是「消息市」格局,走勢偏向反覆波動,預料恒指會在俗稱牛熊分界線的250天移動平均線水平(23522點)上下5%上落。他認為法興及直通車兩大消息,只是製造機會予投資者借勢買賣,不見得對大市有中長線影響。
霸菱資產管理首席投資主任Marino Valensise認為,受美國減息及基本因素理想支持,恒指今年有力重返去年近32000點的歷史高位,若恒指處於25000點以下,實為長線投資者提供入市良機。 |
