Dubbed the biggest rogue trader in British history, Kweku Adoboli
ran up $2.3bn of losses for the Swiss bank UBS. He has spent four
years in prison for fraud and now faces possible deportation from
Britain back to Ghana. He maintains he was not motivated by greed
but that the system put unbearable pressures on him to make big
returns. He warns that the culture of the banking industry has
not changed very much which means it could easily happen again.
