Overview
ODD THOUGH it is to hear [Nick Leeson] rant on about debt and irresponsibility, he has a point. The man who single-handedly broke the Queen's bank, causing the biggest financial scandal of the last century, still owes Pounds 100million to the liquidators. Yet every week, without fail, he receives one of those enticing 'plastic fantastic' offers in the post. A decade on, it still seems incredible. In 1995, Leeson, then a 28-yearold plasterer's son from Watford, went on the run after making losses of Pounds 860 million at Barings, the oldest merchant bank in the City of London. 'I know it's not dealing with money on the scale that I was at Barings, and it is a very different field, but it gets all the old juices going. I have targets to meet.' What is interesting about Leeson's book is that it attempts to explain why he acted as he did.
