Amazingly, UBS did not find out about the exposure, it was only when Kweku told them.

If they had been following him on Facebook they would have had a better clue he was in trouble.

Apparently when the Swiss Government intervened on the Swissie he posted on his Facebook - I need a miracle!!

Turns out this was an accumulated loss from multiple positions over many months.

Not sure if that makes it better or worse!!!

Interesting comment from the CEO

"I'm responsible for everything that happens at the bank," Mr Gruebel told Swiss Sunday newspaper, der Sonntag. "if you ask me whether I feel guilty, then I would say no."
