	Amazon.co.uk: Rogue Trader [1999]: DVD
		Rogue Trader is an awesome film which showcases the skills of Ewan McGregor and his many talents.
		There's a good supporting cast - I was able to match the demeanour of most of the characters in the film with how I imagined them from reading the book - the fellow traders and back-office staff, the auditors, the various managers, the mysterious high-volume customer based in the Bahamas.
		It's a pity then that this film interpretation of Leeson& book falls somewhat short of what it might have been.

	DVD Review: Rogue Trader
		"Rogue Trader" is another one of those films where I'd recommend you'd read the book instead, which is a much more thrilling account of the terror that Leeson faced during the days before he was jailed for his trading.
		"Rogue Trader" is an instance of a true story that was perfect for film being turned into a mediocre picture, which is why it was never seen outside of cable television.
		SOUND: Almost entirely dialogue, "Rogue Trader" is a very basic sound mix; even the songs (and there are some nice techno and various other genre songs thrown in) don't have much weight or impact to them, either.

	Rogue Trader
		Rather than aiming for savage satire or ultrablack comedy, the film (based on Leeson's own book) simply plays it down the middle, taking the line that this child of Thatcherism was merely doing his employers' bidding, got in way too deep, and never had the proper management around him.
		How he did this is a source of fascination, yet the film's portrayal of futures trading on the Singapore International Money Exchange is a decidedly plodding assemblage of flashing computer displays, jostling traders in striped blazers, and cutaways to McGregor, bright-eyed or sunken-cheeked as the occasion demands.

	BBC News Entertainment Film review: Rogue Trader
		If the story Rogue Trader tells - based on Leeson's book - is to believed none of the catastrophe was really his fault.
		Rogue Trader goes on general release in the UK from 25 June.
		And there is the sneaking feeling, as the credits role, that the story might have been better served if confined to a 45-minute TV film.

		However, the book itself is a must-own for those interested in the early history of this pervasive game.
		This original version of the Warhammer 40,000 rules set is the sole resource for those seeking knowledge of the "lost" races of the 40K universe--the Ancient Slaan and clever Jokaero.
		What appealed to me immediately about the Warhammer 40,000 universe was its' attempt to combine tactical elements with a linked campaign wherein players forces would gain experience, as well as the dark tone of its' environment.

	Case Study - Barings
		There may be a temptation to view this debacle as being caused by just one individual - the "rogue trader"- but in reality the fiasco should be attributed to the underlying structure of the firm, and particularly to the lack of internal checks and balances.
		26 January 1995: The London futures team gives Barings' Alco Committee a presentation on the Baring Futures (Singapore) operation, which states that Leeson is operating a perfectly matched book - long in Osaka, but short to the same amount on Simex.
		If Barings' auditors and top management had understood the trading business, they would have realised that it was not possible for Leeson to be making the profits that he was reporting without taking on undue risk, and they might have questioned where the money was coming from.

	He overcame cancer and the collapse of his marriage to build a new life. But Nick Leeson will always be the rogue trader who brought down a bank - [Sunday Herald]
		But the book is also an attempt by Leeson to “re-rationalise” the behaviour that landed him in prison in the first place, and to use his experience of hitting rock bottom and surviving as a tutorial for those who are themselves buckling under pressure.
		Leeson goes to all Galway United’s home games and is usually greeted with chants of “Nick Leeson is a banker” from the home fans.
		What I do know is that in April, Nick Leeson landed his first proper job since leaving prison, as commercial manager of semi-professional Galway United Football Club.
