Morgan Stanley fires traders who are under investigation for mismarking emerging market currency trades that cost MS $100M+ #ButNothingsHappening https://twitter.com/stespezzati/status/1200120843566829568">https://twitter.com/stespezza...
Currency trades are sometimes used as a profit making & money laundering tool. You make a bad trade with someone to eat the losses while they pocket the profit. Were they hiding from their bosses that they were betting to lose on the trades?
The traders are accused of & #39;mismarking& #39; trades, essentially putting them in the system with a false claim as to their value.
Apparently they are still blaming a lack of controls over the actions of their employees for all the misconduct.
Maybe that is a feature not a bug!
