There are countless instances of rouge traders, high level financial crime and corruption.
Wirecard is one recent example costing billions. The Libor scandal another that comes to mind.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoWho were the victims with wirecard? They faked the numbers, but they didn't manage people's money.
- rawtxapp 5y agoI can't tell if you're sarcastic or not. In case you're serious, you don't see how a company with a market cap of 28B$ going belly up causes damage to investors, the markets, their partners, clients and employees?
- NicoJuicy 5y agoThe stock going belly up is the consequence of the fraud, but not the actual fraud. Just like the other people you've mentioned. Eg. Their clients switched payment processor. When a btc exchange frauds or a coin hacked or a smart contract is bugged, they get away with all your money. Which is the actual fraud. In some cases they post a postmortem on medium and call it a day. I don't think wirecard's fraud is comparable with all the crap in crypto town.
