None of Nick Leeson's colleagues at Barings met quite so extreme a punishment as Singapore's Changi jail. But the rogue trader's activities led to the destruction of many glittering careers.
Peter Baring, Barings' chairman and once a leading patriarch of the financial world, will be remembered as the man who presided over the collapse of a firm his ancestors founded two centuries before.
Unsurprisingly, he foresook the Square Mile, as the City of London's financial district is known, and retreated to his country estate, where he lives in quiet retirement.
At least Baring escaped censure from the authorities. Many others were on the sharp end of Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) investigations into their roles in Barings' demise.
Among them was Ron Baker, head of debt financial products and effectively Leeson's immediate superior, who was disqualified as a company director.
So were Geoffrey Broadhurst, head of the banking group at Barings Investment Bank, Tony Hawes, its treasurer, and Anthony Gamby, the director of settlements.
George Maclean, group head of banking and a Barings employee for 30 years, also received a boardroom ban. Little has been heard about any of them since.
Others are known to have restarted their business careers. James Bax, regional manager of Barings' southeast Asia operations, was disqualified as a company director for four years for "very serious failures of management," and was accused in a report commissioned by Singapore's finance ministry of "trying to divert investigations by the external auditors."
Bax eventually moved back to his native Scotland.
After getting a four-year DTI ban, Peter Norris, the former chief executive of Barings Investment Bank, turned up at John Brown Enterprises, publishers of the adult comic Viz.
He later worked for the private equity firm New Boathouse Capital and got involved in film finance.
He also advises Sir Richard Branson and Virgin on corporate matters.
Andrew Tuckey, the former group deputy chairman, has bounced back impressively from his DTI ban.
Always a highly rated corporate financier, he has worked as an adviser or consultant to blue-chip institutions like Lloyds, DLJ, Credit Suisse First Boston and Bridgewell Capital.
At Bridgewell, he recently advised GWR Group on its ?337 million takeover by Capital Radio.
Few emerged completely unscathed from the Barings meltdown, however.
Even Ian Hopkins, the group treasurer whose warnings of the danger in Singapore went unheeded, ended up with a five-year DTI ban, and a severe reprimand from the Securities and Futures Authority.
Mary Walz, former global head of equity derivatives in London, did not suffer the full effect of the affair until later. Up to December 1996, when she failed in her attempt to sue ING Barings for a pound ?500,000 bonus she said she had been promised before the collapse, Walz had come through relatively untouched.
Despite being accused in the Bank of England's report on the affair of failing to check on Singapore trading, Walz had evaded a SFA ban on taking senior City jobs.
After failing to get her bonus, however, she was given a DTI ban and is believed to have since returned to her native America.
Nor was the Barings experience a happy one for Coopers and Lybrand, its former auditor. Now part of PricewaterhouseCoopers, it was reprimanded by the accountancy watchdog and only escaped a ?1billion negligence lawsuit by settling for an undisclosed sum in 2002.
DECOUPLING? In a sign of deeper US-China technology decoupling, Apple has held initial talks about using Baidu’s generative AI technology in its iPhones, the Wall Street Journal said China has introduced guidelines to phase out US microprocessors from Intel Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) from government PCs and servers, the Financial Times reported yesterday. The procurement guidance also seeks to sideline Microsoft Corp’s Windows operating system and foreign-made database software in favor of domestic options, the report said. Chinese officials have begun following the guidelines, which were unveiled in December last year, the report said. They order government agencies above the township level to include criteria requiring “safe and reliable” processors and operating systems when making purchases, the newspaper said. The US has been aiming to boost domestic semiconductor
Nvidia Corp earned its US$2.2 trillion market cap by producing artificial intelligence (AI) chips that have become the lifeblood powering the new era of generative AI developers from start-ups to Microsoft Corp, OpenAI and Google parent Alphabet Inc. Almost as important to its hardware is the company’s nearly 20 years’ worth of computer code, which helps make competition with the company nearly impossible. More than 4 million global developers rely on Nvidia’s CUDA software platform to build AI and other apps. Now a coalition of tech companies that includes Qualcomm Inc, Google and Intel Corp plans to loosen Nvidia’s chokehold by going
ENERGY IMPACT: The electricity rate hike is expected to add about NT$4 billion to TSMC’s electricity bill a year and cut its annual earnings per share by about NT$0.154 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) has left its long-term gross margin target unchanged despite the government deciding on Friday to raise electricity rates. One of the heaviest power consuming manufacturers in Taiwan, TSMC said it always respects the government’s energy policy and would continue to operate its fabs by making efforts in energy conservation. The chipmaker said it has left a long-term goal of more than 53 percent in gross margin unchanged. The Ministry of Economic Affairs concluded a power rate evaluation meeting on Friday, announcing electricity tariffs would go up by 11 percent on average to about NT$3.4518 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)
OPENING ADDRESS: The CEO is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence at the trade show’s opening on June 3, TAITRA said Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) chairperson and chief executive officer Lisa Su (蘇姿丰) is to deliver the opening keynote speech at Computex Taipei this year, the event’s organizer said in a statement yesterday. Su is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing (HPC) in the artificial intelligence (AI) era to open Computex, one of the world’s largest computer and technology trade events, at 9:30am on June 3, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said. Su is to explore how AMD and the company’s strategic technology partners are pushing the limits of AI and HPC, from data centers to
