1995: Rogue trader Nick Leeson jailed

Former futures trader Nick Leeson is jailed for six-and-a-half years for his part in the collapse of Britain's oldest merchant bank.

The 28-year-old admitted to a judge in Singapore two charges of fraud connected with Barings Bank's 拢860m ruin.

Leeson served less than four years of his sentence and he wrote a book, Rogue Trader, which later became a film.
