Still looking for the naming rights to be paid out-only kidding

Tough, locked up 23 hours a day, sleep on the floor, everyone is a triad gang member

No motive as such

I couldnt cope with failing and in not doing so got buried deeper and deeper into a tissue of lies.

The plan (motive) was to try and turn it around and start my life again

Not sure that any did in the end. Barings was an investment or merchant bank, the typical transactions were with other financial organisations. the products were mainly exchange traded and therefore guaranteed /insured

I met one of the bondholders in Luxemburg 10 years after the collapse and he had been paid out

That doesnt excuse my guilt
