If you can’t make a billion, it’s almost as good to beable to say that you lost a billion.

Won’t do much for the resume though.

The last guy trader who lost this much money, a few years ago, got a three year prison sentence.

Three years! I think petty theft carries a heavier penalty.

“It equates to about the same amount UBS is seeking to save by cutting 3,500 jobs worldwide.”

"illegal" trading

I'd bet that had he made a billion, he'd be a UBS hero.

I’m sure the trader was completely unsupervised and was allowed to trade billions of company dollars without anyone looking at this as unusual. How is the guy going to succeed if he isn’t allowed to fail along the way. I’m sure he will be a much better trader for the experience.

I think we was just trying to get a job as an Obama economic advisor. I’d say he’s qualified.
