The education of Kweku Adoboli

摘要

" A Lesson". This is how Charles Sher- rard, a lawyer for Kweku Adoboli, a former ubs trader accused of having lost the Swiss bank $2.3 billion, described his client's trial, which ended on November 20th. And a lesson it was-for all parties involved: for the 32-year-old Ghanaian-born and British-educated Mr Adoboli, who will spend up to seven years in prison after a jury in London's Southwark Crown Court found him guilty on two counts of fraud; for the jury itself, which had a hard time understanding the financial jargon cited during the trial; and for the bank, which was more than just a victim.
