Just this once...
Nick Leeson, the twenty-six-year-old trader who famously brought down British merchant bank Barings in 1995 after racking up $1.3 billion in trading losses before being detected, suffered exactly this fate and talks eloquently about how marginal thinking led him down an inconceivable path. In hindsight, it all started with one small step: a relatively small error. But he didn't want to admit to it. Instead, he covered it up by hiding the loss in a little scrutinized trading account.
It led him deeper and deeper down a path of deception.He made a series of bets in order to pay the losses back— but rather than paying off,they made the problem worse.He lied to cover lies; he forged documents, misled auditors, and made false statements to try to hide his mounting losses.
Eventually, he arrived at his moment of reckoning.He was arrested at the airport in Germany, having fled his home in Singapore. As Barings realized the extent of Leeson's debt, it was forced to declare bankruptcy.The bank was sold to ING for just 1 pound. Twelve hundred employees lost their jobs,some of them his friends.And Leeson was sentenced to six and a half years in a Singaporean prison.
How could hiding one mistake from his bosses end up leading to the undoing of a 233-year-old merchant bank,a conviction and imprisonment for fraud,and ultimately the failure of his marriage? It's almost impossible to see where Leeson would end up from the vantage point of where he started--but that's the danger of marginal thinking.
就这一次...
尼克·李森，这位26岁的交易员，1995年被查出交易损失高达13亿美元，并搞垮了英国商业银行巴林分行，他因此出了名同时受到了应有的惩罚，他滔滔不绝地讲述了边际思维如何将他引入一条不可思议的道路的。事后看来，这一切都始于一小步:一个相对较小的错误。但是当时他承认，相反，他通过在一个被仔细审查的交易账户中隐藏损失来掩盖事实。
这使他在欺骗的道路上越陷越深。为了偿还损失，他进行了一系列的投资——但是这些赌注不但没能帮他还清债务，反而让问题变得更糟糕。他用谎言掩盖谎言；他伪造文件，误导审计人员，并作虚假说明，试图掩盖他不断增加的损失。
最终，清算他的时刻到了。他逃离新加坡前往德国，在德国机场被捕。当巴林分行知道李森的债务规模时，被迫宣布破产。这家银行以1英镑的价格卖给了荷兰国际集团。1200名员工失去了工作，其中一些是他的朋友。李森被判在新加坡监狱服刑六年半。
向老板隐瞒一个错误怎么会导致一家有233年历史的商业银行的倒闭，他被定为欺诈罪而被监禁，以及最终导致婚姻的失败？从开始的利好位置来看，几乎看不到李森将会在哪里结束——但这就是边际思维的危险。
