How traders turn rogue
But the bank did confirm that the trader was a Frenchman in his 30s
who joined the bank in 2000 and earned a salary and bonus of less
than 100,000 euros.
He was responsible for betting on the markets' future performance,
bank executives said.
"I'm convinced he acted alone," said Jean-Pierre Mustier, chief
executive of the corporate and investment banking division, who
interviewed the trader after the fraud was uncovered.
Societe Generale said the trader had taken what it called "massive
fraudulent directional positions in 2007 and 2008 beyond his limited
authority".
Executives said the trader may not have sought personal gain from
the fraudulent deals.
The fraud is an extraordinary echo of the rogue trader, Nick Leeson,
who caused the collapse of Barings Bank in 1995, says BBC business
correspondent Nils Blythe.
But the losses uncovered by Barings bosses totalled just £860m -
about a quarter of the amount lost by Societe Generale
