FCA fines and bans ex-Deutsche trader ‘Gollum’ over Libor

Regulator concludes that Guillaume Adolph 'improperly influenced' Libor submissions to benefit his own trading positions

FCA fines and bans ex-Deutsche trader ‘Gollum’ over Libor

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has fined and banned a former Deutsche Bank derivatives trader for his role in the Libor scandal.

The FCA said in a statement that it has fined Guillaume Adolph, who traded short-term interest rate derivatives at the German bank, £180,000. Adolph would otherwise have been on the hook for £200,000, but he received a discount for agreeing to settle before the FCA published its decision notice, the regulator said.
