Executive summary: Rogue trader, lost €4.9B for Sociéte Générale Hedged futures on three European stock market indices for French banking colossus Sociéte Générale. In 2006, he made more than €1B for the company before his wagers began to go south. Kerviel took advantage of the timing of market transaction reports to keep his hedges masked from the company, while his losses spiraled. By the time his diversion was found out, in January 2008, he had bet almost €50B of the bank's money -- far more than its market capitalization. Found guilty of breach of trust in October 2010, Kerviel was fined the preposterous amount of €4.9B -- the sum which the bank claimed to have lost on his bets.
