1. This has got to be your best episode yet! Relatively unknown to younger people, captivating until the end, multiple twists and narrated well 👌

2. Can imagine wich idiots rules the peoples money

3. a movie about this would be great

4. Nice story… He is a legend.. I am not sorry for the bank one bit.

5. I often wondered why not much was heard of him after his release. After listening to him talk now I know why and would suggest him not wanting friends was in fact people 'not' wanting to be his friend, when in fact that was all he wanted… and he had the cheek to blame others for 'his' lies.

6. I wonder how many people's deaths this guy contributed to indirectly through the stress and anxiety brought on by his abhorrent, hubristic behaviour. This guy is probably up there with Harold Shipman in my book, yet he seems to lorded by some.

7. What an arrogant jerk , take some blame and grow up

8. why would you ever send 75% of your capital to one guy

9. so the take away from this and thousand other stories just like this is that theres no way to make money on the stock market save you trade in bonds or index funds and leave them for twenty yrs

10. 4 years is a joke

11. His Adidas shirt. All Day I Dream About Swindling

12. Ah an MVP of WallStreetBets I see

13. Sounds like Barings got what they deserved…. I mean, what kind of bank lets hundreds of millions of pounds worth of debt owed to them "slip through the cracks"?

14. This guy is the epitome of a psychopath

15. Smiling, smirking the whole time, zero accountability, zero remorse = a complete and total narcissist. P.s. Only 6 year sentence? WOW

16. Good old British aristocracy and complacency, just two peas in a pod.

17. Sounds like a narcissist personality

18. Good man

19. 4:48 Because that colleague had a 2 part thing under the pants 🤣

20. 19:30 This guy reminds me of one of buggs bunny's old episode with a gremlin that was trying to bring down an airplane
    This guy must banned from even walking down one the road at any cost !

21. 3 million views! Certified!

22. Respect!

23. ‘Hurt’ fordshire hahahaha

24. He went on Big Brother? 😂 my God what world do we live in

25. He looks like moriarty from sherlock

26. Narcissist he lost hundreds of millions and who is the idiot?

27. have to agree with the scammer in this case…sheer incompetence

28. This. THIS sums up our society. A parasite causes massive damage, but instead of punishing him, we make him a celebrity.

29. That guy is just dripping with narcissism.

30. His wife also has to be “Stupid” as to think he is not having an affair lol!

31. He needed another 4 years in jail for his attitude

32. 4 years… holy shit. People go to jail for a much longer time without destroying thousands of peoples savings.

33. I am a deceiving manipulative liar that would sell my soul for money, but the fault lies with Barings because they trusted a deceiving manipulative liar. Just a dark wicked soul.

34. Why is this guy portrayed as smart? Dude was a gambling idiot

35. This guy can’t trade at all

36. I spent over three decades in the Royal Navy, and did my fair share of auditing Mess Wine Funds and ships' Welfare Funds. I'm pretty confident that any of those audit boards – comprised of AMATEURS – would have uncovered the mess in 88888. The biggest clue? That one-way flood of money to meet 'margin calls'.
    P.S. I've followed this story for a number of years. The best book on the subject? 'All That Glitters', by Gapper.

37. you pronounce it like 'Heart- ford-shear' not 'hurt- ford -shyer'

38. There’s a common thread between the likes of this guy, that Theranos person, SBF, etc …. people pathogically expressing a desire to do SOMETHING REALLY BIG even though they lack in the ability to actually deliver. The lesson here: look out for, and never invest with, highly driven people with marginal or no talent who repeatedly fail to deliver.

39. What is it with these young guys?

40. Nick Leeson is a scapegoat, Barrings was already in a dire situation.

41. When anyone wears their cap backwards it is a red flag.

42. I think his right sayng there bunch of fools. How can a whole bank transfer 75% of its capital to a single person

43. the dude blames them for trusting him when he's hiding all hes loses and giving them false reports.

44. True

45. 4:38 You said he was, "impressing his employees". HE was an employee, working for a bank. They are his employers. Not his "employees". If you were trying to say that he was impressing the other people working with him, those would be his, co-workers, or fellow employees.
