16. In early September 2011, the Swiss bank UBS announced that it had lost over 2 billion dollars,
as a result of unauthorized trading performed by Kweku Adoboli, a director of the bank's Global
Synthetic Equities Trading team in London.
In April and May 2012 large trading losses occurred at JPMorgan's Chief Investment Office,
based on transactions booked through its London branch. Trader Bruno Iksil, nicknamed the
London Whale, accumulated unauthorized outsized CDS positions in the market. The original
estimated trading loss of $2 billion was announced, with the final actual loss expected to be
substantially larger.
HSBC Holdings Plc agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion in fines to U.S. authorities for allowing
itself to be used to launder a river of drug money flowing out of Mexico and other banking
lapses.
is the world’s most heavily regulated industry
In January 2008, the bank Société Générale lost approximately €4.9 billion closing out positions
over three days of trading beginning January 21, 2008, The bank states these positions were
fraudulent transactions created by Jérôme Kerviel, a trader with the company.
After analyzing post-loss & causal factors, they all had a good chance of
being prevented or detected if Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) had provided
information that could be aggregated, analyzed, and escalated.

21. Human risks are hard to predict:
Even the best designed risk controls are subject
to the failings of people’s experience, attitude,
mindset and values.
23. Human language is a rich data source that
enables data scientists to study people’s past
behavior or predict future behavior.
24. Human language is dirty data.
Different languages.
Full of ambiguity.
Large amounts of it, and very noisy.
Difficult to count things.

So how serious of a problem has this become for the commercial sector? Let’s take a look at some recent cases involving top tier financial institutions.In September 2011, the Swiss bank UBS announced that it had lost over 2 billion dollars, as a result of unauthorized trading.In this case the trader was actually talking about the unauthorized trading in e-mail, specifically he was using the terms “umbrella” and “slush funds” in communication with colleagues.There was also a chat transcript in which a trade support analyst told Adoboli to cancel and rebook a trade to change the settlement date. The trade support analyst must have known it was a fake trade since If it were a genuine transaction, you couldn’t rebook and just move the settlement date. In April and May 2012 large trading losses occurred at JPMorgan's Chief Investment Office, based on transactions booked through its London branch. This is the famous case, nicknamed the London Whale, where a rogue trader had accumulated unauthorized outsized positions in the market.Again there were e-mails with damaging information, JPMorgan traders reportedly called regulators from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency "stupid," and other traders fretted in an email that "we are going to crash.”At one point Iksilemailed a senior trader advising against increasing the bet, as the size of the trades were becoming “scary”. Advised take the “full pain” now. HSBC Holdings Plc agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion in fines to U.S. authorities for allowing itself to be used to launder a river of drug money flowing out of Mexico and other banking lapses.HSBC conceded that its anti-money laundering measures were inadequate and that it has taken big steps in beefing up its controls. In return for being spared prosecution, HSBC said it would continue to strengthen its compliance policies and procedures. a Senate investigation concluded that HSBC’s lax controls exposed it to money laundering and terrorist financing. In December 2, 2001, Enron filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, with $63.4 billion in assets it was the largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. Enron’s downfall was a result of its complex financial statements and complex business model. "the primary motivations for Enron's accounting and financial transactions seem to have been to keep reported income and reported cash flow up, asset values inflated, and liabilities off the books.” A lot of these complex financial dealings were discussed to some extent in e-mail(BILL, YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO HOW THIS RELATES TO THIS AUDIENCE – THE GOVT. I SUGGEST YOU SPEAK TO THIS ON THIS SLIDE OR ADD ANOTHER ONE.)
