Hopkins: Was he a whistle-blower or just negligent?

Article Abstract:

Ian Hopkins, former head of group treasury and risk at Barings Investment Bank, has seen the UK Securities and Futures Authority dismiss his claims that he warned the bank's senior executives about the very large losses being accumulated in Singapore by trader Nick Leeson. He has been banned from the City of London for three years and ordered to pay costs of 10,000 pounds sterling. A tribunal concluded that Hopkins did not act according to the standards which would have been appropriate for someone in his position.
