This account describes how a 28-year-old from Watford, Nick Leeson, plunged Barings Bank into ruin. In 1994, Leeson seemed to be making the company millions of pounds a week, but he explains how the cover-up of a colleague's small error led to the crash of Britain's oldest merchant bank.

Leeson ,gambled recklessly. He went chasing his losses. Not the best strategy for a trader.

It's an amazing story, well written and superbly narrated...I could not stop listening! I am French and had absolutely no difficulties in listening and understanding this incredible take.

Made for easy listening (but I am a Finance person so understood all of the jargon). Easy to get caught up in that and not understand the broader picture, which was the more interesting part of the story. Pity it stops where it does - feels like there’s more to tell.

I was directed to this book by a podcast that had referenced it and decided that it sounded interesting. It finished a bit abruptly, but was an engaging listen.

Pretty easy book to listen to and explained the techniques Leeson used in his deception / fraud in a way that non-finance people can understand (to a certain extent).
Amazing how we managed to get away with it. The ultimate gambler who lost other peoples money.

Enjoyable listen
