UK’s Serious Fraud Office looking at Deutsche Bank role in alleged Kaupthing credit default swap manipulation

Posted on June 7, 2010 by stacyherbert| 11 Comments

Stacy Summary:  Deutsche Bank being investigated for role in alleged credit derivatives manipulation.   I don’t think the SFO has ever been able to successfully investigate a single major bank or hedge fund.  Let’s see if they can find anything that might jeopardise the City’s role in global derivatives fraud.

    Eeeewwwww!!!

    Just reading abut Chris Dodds from flicks link from Wiki.

    “Dodd had a reputation for being “rowdy” in his early years in the Senate,[15] including a 1985 incident where he and Senator Ted Kennedy, after a long night of drinking, made a “sandwich” out of a waitress at the Capitol Hill French restaurant la Brasserie while their dates were in the bathroom.”

    Thanks for the info.

    But you saved me from false hope ;)
    Cheers.

    when Geithner gets wind if this he will put a stop to it.

    Hey Stacy,

    yeah and the article does mention that the people involved were London based.

    I was just being cynical. After all it’s not like they’re going after one massive UK based international banks. Deutsche just probably forgot to make their political contributions, and are now being sent a gentle reminder.

    SFO could tell the difference between Madoff and a Government run pension scheme.

    @sam – Deutsche Bank is hardly ‘foreign;’ they are one of the biggest players in the derivatives market which is global, especially London and NY

  11. sam | June 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm |

    oh look, someone foreign to blame it on.

    who would have guessed it would be zee germans?
