Facebook Profile May Provide Clues to Rogue Trader

A very smiley futures trader, Jérôme Kerviel, got his 30-seconds of fame today on the homepage of the Wall Street Journal earlier today. Jérôme was able to pull off one of the largest cases of trader fraud ever, amount to a whopping $7.2 billion loss for Société Générale SA. Rather than focusing on the details of what went down I’ll instead point out that the rogue trader has a Facebook profile that may provide clues.

While the profile is relatively empty, it does include a few of his friends at the firm that would be good to approach.
