Christian Noyer, the Governor of the Bank of France, praised him as a “Computer Genius.” His computer skills, on the other hand, were in irresponsible hands as he carried out $73 billion in unauthorized transactions along with computer hacking. Jerome Kerviel, on the other hand, had acquired a stock index futures position of US$73 billion by January 9, 2008, which cost Societe Generale (SocGen) US$7.2 billion. On January 19, 2008, his bosses discovered illicit trading linked to him. He was utilizing these vast sums of money to engage in arbitrage trading, which involves taking advantage of two stocks trading at different prices when they should be trading at the same price. Meanwhile, he had built up massive bets and losses by the time the fraud was discovered, owing to the bank $6.3 billion, more than he will ever be able to pay.
