1993, his background was 100 per cent back office. This fact alone indicates that someone, somewhere, tutored him in the gris- ly art of ‘doubling up' his book and other fairly sophisticated deal- ing techniques. Every ‘new’ trader needs the tender loving care (often a kick in the pants) of an experienced mentor. Alone in Singapore without any previous trading experience, who provided this to him? Whoever sent him to Singapore in the first place and appointed him head of trading, that's who! This sure as hell was- n't the Group Finance Director who would've been incapable of trading. An accountant, however, would have been able to teach him to hide figures. 6. So far as I have been able to establish, but I am open to correc- tion. 7. This is the sum of three years’ bonuses and other remuneration, which is, on available documents, “unquantifiable". 8. This figure is composed of the £660 million paid for Barings, plus the £95 million additional expenditure in bonuses. 9. This figure is the actual realised trading losses of the Singapore book’. 10. He is no longer the chairman. 11. So far as I have been able to establish, Kingsley Napley's long cast of solicitors are not members of these fraternities. However, I do have considerable misgivings about the firm's strat- egy in defending Lecson, which always seemed weak and ineffec- tive. This led me to ponder upon their affiliations, which may just be paranoia on my part. I have corresponded with Stephen Pollard and received a curt but otherwise reasonably polite reply. Whatever the pros and cons, I remain mildly suspicious. 12. The interconnections and cross-holdings of businesses that are represented on these groups are worthy of an extensive work on their own. For example, in an earlier banking crash, the US giant Continental Illinois (Cont. Ill.) was rescued by the US tax- payer at a cost of approximately US$4 billion. Cont. Ill. was and is heavily represented in the Trilats and CFR. I have used Holly Sklar's Trilateralism, James Perloff's The Shadows of Power, and Eringer's The Global Manipulators, plus additional documents in my possession. All are at least 10 years old, and therefore there is a real need that these be updated. oo About the Author: David Guyatt was born and educated in Hampshire, England.
