Reality Check

In 1995, Nick Leeson’s fraudulent and speculative trading caused the collapse of Barings Bank. The UK’s oldest merchant bank, and bank to HM The Queen, was brought to its knees by one Rogue Trader.

In 2006, John Rusnak hid US$691 million in losses at Allfirst Bank, Baltimore. His addictive personality was never identified and his amazing ability to hide his drug problem and his fraud was never suspected.

In 2015, Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing all 144 passengers and 6 crew. His mental health issues and suicidal tendencies went undiscovered for years by his employers.

Before today, everything that could have been done to avoid these things happening was being done.

But they still happened.

From today, everything - has changed.
