The "fabulous Fab"-Fabrice Tourre, the Goldman Sachs banker charged alongside his employer with misleading investors-has dominated recent headlines about French investment bankers. But Jerome Kerviel, the Societe Generate trader whose rogue bets lost his bank €4.9 billion ($7.2 billion) in early 2008, has returned to compete for the limelight. In a new book published this week, in which he presents himself as the victim of an immoral financial system, Mr Kerviel intensifies his attacks on his old bosses at SocGen. His trial, in which he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of €375,000, is due to start in Paris on June 8th.
