This part of the article left me gawping.
It also raised the possibility that the bank, in its haste to close out Kerviel's bad bets, may have exacerbated the European stock plunge earlier this week. That decline, in turn, was partly responsible for the U.S. Federal Reserve's extraordinary three-quarter-point interest rate cut Tuesday.
One guy. One guy might have done that.
One. Guy.
Admiration is not what we're going for here, Joseph.
He worked in a group that dealt with transaction limits on traders.
Societe Generale's loss swamps the previous high water mark for activity by a rogue trader set by Nicholas Leeson, who lost $1.38 billionin Asian futures and other derivatives at Barings Bank in 1995. The damage bankrupted the 233-year-old British bank, which was subsequently taken over by Dutch financial firm ING.

No, you have to cut off his head. It's the only way to be sure.
I boggle that for my accounting cycle, February is a 5 week month. I mean, WTF.

I give you points for escalating the geekery (for extra points, who can link Christopher Lambert to Sigourney Reese in the fewest steps?) but that will only show you something if there's an immortal in range to be quickened. Shooting him in the heart will kill him if he's not immortal, but only stop him for a while if he's not, no matter who's around.
