Rogue Trader

God knows what that nail gun was eventually used for.

OK, so the last film on the list is Rogue Trader, which came out in 1998 and was based on Nick Leeson's autobiography.

Leeson worked his way up from a back office role at Barings Bank in the 1990s and was eventually sent to Singapore to head up Barings' trading operation on the Symex exchange.

The film follows Leeson's rise and the antics he and his friends got up to when they start making a lot of money.

Well, I just have to keep buying futures like they're going out of style to support the market.

When the Kobe earthquake caused a huge stock market sell-off in 1995, Leeson's error account suffered losses of over £800 million, or $1.3 billion.

Nick did what any sensible rogue trader would do in his position.

He left a post-it note on his desk saying sorry and he fled the country.

good.

The next one is, I don't think it's as well known, but it's called Rogue Trader.

I've never seen it, but obviously now it's the Nick Leeson story.

It's about a guy called Nick Leeson and he worked for Barings Bank.

I think one day that he was nearly out of trouble and there was an earthquake in Japan back then.

That's why poor Japan had a bad time in the 90s.

So yeah, so that's Rogue Trader.

The next one is Margin Call.
