Fraud Costs Bank $7.1 Billion – It was not me!
Fraud Costs Bank $7.1 Billion – New York Times:
I have had 3 people come up to me this morning, and ask me what I am doing with the 7.1 Billion I have defrauded out of the bank. Apparently the perpetrator, Jerome Kerviel, looks very much like me.
Usually when something like this happens, you check it out, and end up thinking that there is not really any similarity at all. In this case, I was like wow. It almost is me:

Mr. Kerviel, your “computer genius” is surpassed by your social engineering genius. By posting pictures (both obviously identical, just slightly touched up with photoshop) and such a public denial of your true identity, you in fact intend to throw the authorities off the trail. But I saw you get out of your gold plated Gulfstream this morning as I drove past the airport, and will be sure to direct the authorities towards your office when they enter B7.
