Japan's biggest trading house by revenue says matter has been referred to police and the trader in question has been sacked, but the loss raises serious questions about compliance standards.
Share to twitterThe recent and much talked about $320 million rogue trade on bad oil bets at a subsidiary of Japan's biggest trading house by revenue Mitsubishi Corp. is by no means the world's largest in terms of moneys lost, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing for Japan Inc.

When Sumitomo's internal audit was completed in 1996, Hamanaka – who earned his nickname from the percentage of the world's yearly copper supply he was once purportedly controlled – had.
