Nick Leeson is a former British derivatives trader whose unauthorised and reckless trading caused the 1995 collapse of Barings Bank, one of Britain’s oldest financial institutions. Working in Singapore, he concealed massive losses through a secret account, ultimately accumulating £827 million in debt. Leeson fled but was captured and imprisoned in Singapore. His story, told in his autobiography ’Rogue Trader’, highlights the dangers of poor oversight, financial hubris, and unchecked risk-taking in global markets.
