The trades caused a rise in the price of oil An oil trader who bought seven million barrels of oil after a weekend of heavy drinking has been banned by the City watchdog.
Steven Perkins made the trade in the early hours of the morning after a weekend of "excessive" drinking, said the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
His actions caused the price of Brent crude oil to jump to an "abnormal level".
The regulator said Mr Perkins' actions amounted to market abuse.
He has been fined £72,000 and has been banned from working in the financial services industry for at least five years.
"Perkins' trading manipulated the market in Brent by giving a false and misleading impression as to the supply, demand and price of Brent," the FSA said.
"[His actions] seem to have been a consequence of extremely heavy drinking resulting from alcoholism, which he now acknowledges." [more]

nnuut

Surely the current administration has been doing all it can. POTUS delegated authority to others while he was distracted. It is not his fault.

"It happened on my watch" is not something that applies to anyone who is not named Bush.

Get a grip on the new order. WTF is the matter with you?
