Nick leeson has got a new job

DUBLIN (Reuters) - It took 10 years and a spell in prison, but rogue trader Nick Leeson -- the man who broke Barings Bank -- has finally found a new home for his financial skills: an Irish football club.


Ireland's Galway United have appointed Leeson as their new commercial manager despite a CV that many companies might find more than a little off-putting.


The world's most famous rogue trader single-handedly ran up 791 million pounds in trading losses at Barings, the UK's oldest investment bank.


The job at the first division club will be Leeson's first since he left Barings, who collapsed as a result of his losses.


"I have been looking for a new challenge," Leeson, who served more than four years in prison, told the club's website.


"It is inevitable I will always be associated with Barings Bank but after everything which has happened, I have moved on and I hope other people have as well."

"Good luck to him" bullsh#t. His activities cast a shadow on a fine traders for years
