Post by: Devons Daddy on 07 May, 2004, 08:28:38 AM
off topic but worth a thought.

that fine upstanding british trader whom brought bearing bank to its knees 10 years ago, in singapore.
is now living in ireland. NIC LEESON,
but heres the strange thing.
he has to pay 50% of his wages every month to the liqudation company in charge of the former bearings bank debtors.
now im not into maths but didnt they lose 300 million of something of that nature, for them to go belly up.
just how long will this lad be paying off his debts then?
you have to wonder sometimes.

it was in todays straits times. next tiem you get a statement through the door,dont despair just think of Nic.
