This is an episode from our archives. We spoke to Kweku Adoboli, the former UBS trader who went to prison for rogue trading that was uncovered in 2011. In the summer of 2018, having served his time, he spoke to us about the mechanics of marketing making and prop trading in ETFs and other Delta One products. He explained how he used proxies for volatility to hedge positions and how this can lead to hidden leverage within the financial system. He has a unique perspective of trading through the financial crisis that he is now free to discuss as someone outside of the system. 

Da momentan Banken DAS dominierende Thema an den Märkten sind, haben sich die Babos heute mal mit dem Thema Banken und deren Krisen beschäftigt. Wie viele Bankenkrisen gab es und wann war die Erste? Wir glauben, die Antwort wird euch überraschen. Die Babos versuchen ein wenig Licht ins Dunkel zu bekommen und sprechen heute über Liquidität, Solvabilität, Regulierung und Gier. Einige Topstars der Bankenbranche werden auch in Erinnerung gerufen - Jerome Kerviel, Nick Leeson, Kweku Adoboli usw. usw. - wenn ihr die Namen nicht kennt, aber auch sonst, müsst ihr die Folge unbedingt hören! Viel Spaß und vor allem vielen Dank fürs lauschen

When things go wrong in companies, it's usually accompanied by a sense of surprise on the part of senior management. Given we know that employing people will result in some form of Human Risk, wouldn't it be better if we could find a way to ensure there were no surprises? At least, not in areas where controls exist to mitigate the risk. That's what my guest Jim Oates explores with me on this episode. He's spent his career working in audit in Financial Services, so he's seen plenty of examples of the aftermath of things not going according to plan. His experience as an auditor led him to adopt a strategy of "No Surprises"; working to ensure the Board of Directors of the company aren't surprised by a significant loss or damage to the firm's reputation, due to an unexpected control failure. In our discussion, we explore some of the events that shaped Jim's career and what he learned from them. The insights he shares about human decision-making and how audit can help to mitigate the risks it poses are fascinating and very timely. Jim also played an important part in furthering my thinking about Human Risk. He was my boss at UBS when I evolved the idea of "Bringing Behavioural Science to Compliance" and supported me in pursuing the idea. As one of of the early sponsors of the ideas behind it, it's very fitting to have him as a guest on the podcast.

Kweku Adoboli served his time for white collar crime in the UK. The last time we caught up with him he was being pursued for deportation by The Home Office. Under the Hostile Environment Policy the then home secretary decided that although he'd served his time - and lived in the UK for the majority of his life - he was to be deported to his native Ghana. Almost 2 years on, host Ross Ashcroft catches up with him to talk about debt, deportation and economic depressions.

Kweku Adoboli, the trader jailed for the UK's biggest financial fraud, tells Anna Foster why he's now fighting deportation to Ghana, the country of his birth which he left aged 4.

In his 20s, yet running a $50billion book, Kweku Adoboli had worked his way up the trading floor at the very point the market crashed. His actions wiped £2.7bn from the UBS share price, prompted the resignation of their chief executive - and got him a seven-year jail sentence for fraud.In this remarkable interview with Olly, he reveals a corporate culture of ‘wilful blindness’, explains how he fell foul of the UK’s hostile environment policy for migrants - and re-lives the moment he realised that, having taken responsibility for his actions, he would forever be known as Britain’s biggest ‘rogue trader’.(If you’d like to sign the petition to stop Kweku’s proposed deportation, you can do so here: http://bit.ly/2B9PgWD )Elsewhere this week, Ollie Peart highlights ‘anonymous work talk’ app Blind, and the trend for ‘baby sculpting’ in gross-out cake baking.

Dubbed the biggest rogue trader in British history, Kweku Adoboli ran up $2.3bn of losses for the Swiss bank UBS. He has spent four years in prison for fraud and now faces possible deportation from Britain back to Ghana. He maintains he was not motivated by greed but that the system put unbearable pressures on him to make big returns. He warns that the culture of the banking industry has not changed very much which means it could easily happen again.(Photo: Kweku Adoboli arrives at Southwark Crown Court on 20 September 2012 in London.
