Deep Into The Lieborgate Rabbit Hole: The Swiss Hedge Fund Link?
That Lieborgate is about to spill over and take down many more banks is well known: as previously reported that the world's biggest bank Deutsche Bank, has become a rat for the Liebor prosecution having turned sides. The reason: "Under the leniency programs of the EU, companies may get total immunity from fines or a reduction of fines which the anti-trust authorities would have otherwise imposed on them if they hand over evidence on anti-competitive agreements or those involved in a concerted practice." However, just like in the case of Barclays (with Diamond), JPM (with Bruno Iksil), UBS (with Kweku) and Goldman (with Fabrice Tourre), there always is a scapegoat. Today we find just who that scapegoat is. From Bloomberg: "Regulators are investigating the possible roles of Michael Zrihen at Credit Agricole, Didier Sander at HSBC and Christian Bittar at Deutsche Bank, the person said on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The names of the banks and traders were reported earlier today by the Financial Times."
Of course, as so very often happens, the link between the investigated firm, and the person in question no longer exists - after all what better brute way to tie up loose ends, than to fire the person in question at some point in the past: "Michael Golden, a spokesman for Deutsche Bank, confirmed that Bittar left the bank last year and declined to comment on the investigation." Not surprising. Yet this is where the story gets interesting, and provides a whole new twist on the Lieborgate scandal.
Notice that up until now, the only firms that have been implicated in Lieborgate are, by definition, the BBA member banks which provided daily USD Libor fixings. However, nowhere is it said that this information never exited this close knit cabal of 16 manipulating banks. After all, there are $2 trillion in AUM (a number that is likely $5 trillion when accounting for all the rehypothecated assets at the Prime Brokers) out there run by unregulated hedge funds, and all of these entities would certainly find a way to make a pretty buck on even the tiniest 'manipulated', and leveraged Libor arbitrage. And would also pay a pretty penny to get that info. Which brings us back to Bittar. And LinkedIn.
Since neither Bloomberg, nor the earlier FT article have any discussion of just where Mr. Bittar ended up, knowing quite well there is very likely a full-scale investigation forming into his Libor transgressions. The first place we went to, naturally, was LinkedIn, not because we expected to find his profile there: very few higher echelon bankers actually post their resumes on LinkedIn, but because we were fairly confident that the very useful function of seeing whose other profiles had been looked at in the context of even a "fake" Bittar, would provide us with clues. Sure enough that's precisely what happened.
Sure enough, the first entry for the DB trader is the following:
Christian Bittar
Owner, SAFETY DYNAMICS
Greater New York City Area
Construction
Hardly the person we are looking for. Yet what we were looking for is right here: the follow up profiles of people that are contextually relevant, and correct. And again the context, at least superficially, is anyone connected to a person who allegedly has been involved in Libor manipulation.
We get some curious names:
Going down the list, it just gets curiouser and curiouser as we go deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.
The first person:
- philippe moryousse, Managing Director at Morgan Stanley
a cursory search reveals the following on philippe: From February
Barclays reported a suspected manipulation of the Euribor by one of its employees, Philippe Moryoussef, who left the bank in 2007 and is currently employed with Nomura Singapore.
Addressing the allegations, a Nomura spokesman said: “Nomura is aware of the investigation into the setting of Euribor and Libor rates. The allegations against Mr Moryoussef are related to a period of time before he joined Nomura. We would point out the fact that Nomura is not a member of either the Euribor panel or the Libor panel, and therefore has no role in the setting of these rates.”
And yet, as of literally 9 hours ago:
Philippe Moryoussef, a Singapore- based derivatives trader at Nomura Holdings Inc., (8604) Japan’s biggest brokerage, left the bank as investigators probe his involvement in the suspected manipulation of interest rates, according to two people with knowledge of the move.
Moryoussef’s departure last month was by mutual agreement and relates to his work at his past employer, Barclays Plc (BARC), rather than Nomura, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the departure hasn’t been made public. Moryoussef didn’t return messages sent via LinkedIn and wasn’t contactable through directory searches in Singapore and London.
Moryoussef joined Nomura in February 2011 after a yearlong stint at Morgan Stanley, according to the U.K. Financial Services Authority’s register. He worked at Edinburgh-based Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS) from August 2007 to June 2009 and at London-based Barclays from May 2005 to August 2007.
FSA spokesman Chris Hamilton declined to comment on whether Moryoussef is under investigation as part of its probe. Officials at Barclays declined to comment on Moryoussef.
So immediately we get one indirect connection, at least based on others' curiosity, into a person who has just left once more after his past transgressions at Barclays back in 2007 have become evident. Something tells us Philippe is one of the anonymous gentlemen whose Champagne-reference laden emails have made the case against Barclays legendary. Oh and his previous stint at RBS is likely about to be exposed too.
But like we said this is not about banks, there are more interest fish to fry here. Namely pure-play buysiders. Which is why we continue down the list, until we find...
- Michael Zrihen, Senior Portfolio Manager at Lombard Odier Asset Management, based in Geneva, Switzerland
What does Michael do, and what did he do before?
Current: Senior Portfolio Manager at Lombard Odier
Past: Head of the Euro Short term IRD Market Making and Proprietary Trading at Credit Agricole CIB
Proprietary Trading, Executive Director at SGCIB
Co-Head of Euro STIRD desk at SGCIB
IRD means Interest Rate Derivatives means, you guessed it, Lie-bor. And where is that name familiar from? Oh yes. First paragraph above:
Regulators are investigating the possible roles of Michael Zrihen at Credit Agricole, Didier Sander at HSBC and Christian Bittar at Deutsche Bank, the person said on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing. The names of the banks and traders were reported earlier by the Financial Times.
So allegedly Zrihen, who now works in Geneva (keep a note of this), manipualted Libor at CA, and is now at Lombard Odier - "Geneva's oldest firm of private bankers and one of the largest in Switzerland and Europe." There is no news on whether Zrihen has been let go by Lombard Odier. Yet.
Next, we continue down the list, until we reach.... Richard Fell:
Well lookee here: another former INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES TRADER, which means that he likely is that as a PM at his current firm BlueCrest as well. And note also where BlueCrest is based: Geneva, Swizterland.
At this point we decide to do another search: one for Christian Bittar and BlueCrest, and guest what we find, courtesy of Derivatives Intelligence:
The original LinkedIn list continues (much to the likely chagrin of at least one SocGen trader and one more CA-CIB banker), but we have seen enough, and the pattern is forming: it appears that the bankers who were allegedly involved in Libor manipulation in some capacity in their previous lives working for banks, decided to quietly depart under mutually acceptable conditions and find new lives, still trading Libor and IR derivatives, in some of the best known, and even less regulated, Swiss hedge funds and private banks.
Our question then is the following: while much has been said about Lieborgate as being purely associated with the 16 BBA USD fixing member banks, just who else made money, and is the traditionally quiet and always under the radar Swiss financial community about to be exposed for having profits far more from Lieborgate than any of the BBA member banks?
Because if the stigmatized traders were accepted with open arms at various Swiss hedge funds, one would think there may, just may have been, some quid pro quo in the past (for those who have worked in the financial industry this needs no further explanation).
We eagerly await the answer, and perhaps the Swiss regulators to finally wake up to their own "pristeen" financial industry.

Surely there will be something from Wikileaks shortly. That would be justice for the British extradition of Assange to Switzerland.
Where is the wikileaks BAC release?
The release is in the condom that the Swiss prosecutors are holding.
BRAVO TYLER for doing some very interesting and cutting edge research!
This is why I read zerohedge!
That and it's the most insightful forum on the web.
Surely the Tylers have been trained by the very likes of Hercule Poirot. This is some rad sleuthing - I am impressed.
And trudat. ZH is definitely the best community of knowledgeable folk on the www. Love you guys. <3
Just another day in the park for Zero Hedge, which puts the "conventional, respectable, main stream financial press" to shame, badly, yet again.
It began with the Goldman HFT scam, which the testosterone driven financial nerds of ZH broke wide open while the respectable Bloomberg, cnBSc & Wall Street Journal apparently didn't understand, and continues to this day.
Fifteen minutes of trawling social media sites, and ZH knows more than the regulators.
Conclusions:
1) Banksters are poor at being gangsters and players, and leave ridiculous paper trails due to their arrogance.
2) Regulators are WWE referees, beards, accomplices whose function is to lend the con legitimacy.
This is just like the Mafia don that got caught through Facebook:

BlueCrest Capital Management was founded in London in 2000 by former JP Morgan proprietary traders Mike Platt and Bill Reeves (who is now retired) and is now officially headquartered in Guernsey with offices in Geneva, Singapore, New York and Boston as well as London.
A little bit of whois-hunting reveals a bunch of BlueCrest domains, funds, deals, corporations, personnel, etc. behind different web fronts, some of which claim to be unaffiliated with the others (despite site addresses in the same net block). Looks like the rats have been busy.

Clearly, being branded an "Alleged" thief does not make you un-hireable at a bank. In fact, it seemingly makes you more attractive.
i know a young man who is a pathological liar. Pathological is an understatement.
He has been employed by one bank after another in London, no issues, for a decade now.

You know what time it is? It's time for me to make another donation to ZH and support the Tylers and their great work--God's work even (and Fuck You, Lloyd). So if you'll excuse me . . .
It is a known fact amid the prosecutorial community within the U.S. criminal justice system that white collar criminals are the easiest individuals to roll over and provide evidence against others. They are more than willing to "cut a deal" to save themselves from more severe punishment and will throw anyone and everyone under the bus, even if someone only played a peripheral role in the alleged activity. Within the Federal prison system, white collar felons are the least trusted among inmates.
And therein lies one of the main reasons why we have seen minimal arrests despite the myriad of scandals and fraudulent behavior over the last decade. Once you open the floodgates, the allegations are going to come pouring out and there is no telling how high the water will rise. This is very frightening to those in power.
Don't you see? It's the dirtiest secret of 'em all: The way the most successful bankers make money requires no "skill". It's just legalized cheating.
Zero Hedge to Simon Ross:

Doesn't everybody already know how this is going to play out?
Tom Hagen: When a plot against the Emperor failed... the plotters were always given a chance... to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?
Frank Pentangeli: Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the Emperors. Unless they went home and killed themselves, then nothing happened. And the families... the families were taken care of.
Tom Hagen: That was a good break. A nice deal.
Frank Pentangeli: Yeah... They went home... and sat in a hot bath... opened up their veins... and bled to death... and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

Pure ZH brand awesome-sauce.
Yep. There's one chance with LinkedIn. It's just been used. Another gap filled. Hope it was worth it. Something tells me the Quid Pro Quo won't agree.
Investigative journalism that just doesn't exist anywhere else. Nicely done. The Times will probably come out with this in about 6 months claiming it as original on their part.
Egregious Swiss Miss. Their 'neutrality' is stunning.
Great job. Thank you, Tyler.
This does underscore some of my earlier comments that, aside from putting lipstick on a megabank under stress (with apparent regulator prodding/acquiescence), LIBOR manipulation couldn't have been about goosing overall bank profits since such beasts are always both big payers and receivers of LIBOR based positions at any given time.
So, the misbehavior had to have been about individual/small group cheating and profit-goosing from day one: putting up a decent Q number for the desk, digging oneself out of a lousy P&L, making a particular deal more attractive etc.
But now we learn that the circle extends to a somewhat wider alumni network…and perhaps involves such things as say - helping some hedge fund kill it with their seven-dimensional, leveraged derivatives position that all pivots on LIBOR being at/below/above a certain level. Hhhmmmmm.
I think Zero Hedge is guilty of committing actual journalism here.
"LIBOR manipulation couldn't have been about goosing overall bank profits".....
I'm not so sure - This book was widely credited with saving DB's bottom line from being a lot worse in 2008
They reported a loss of 3.9b and this book contributed litterally billions to the bottom line in one year, which was extraordinary for a short end interest rate book in my opinion....
Well sure, everyone's bottom line would have been a lot worse in 2008 if rates didn't get squashed. But it was the Fed who was doing the squashing here ex machina.
In 2008 LIBOR spiked and then was ultimately sucked in by the gravity of US Fed funds and crisis response. This would have overwhelmed any 1 or 2 bip manipulation done at the bank level for fun and profit.
My thoughts are the manipulation prior to the crisis kicking off was in the order of points, however during 08 especially the 4th qtr it was managed down to ridiculous levels' some of these banks were unable to access market funding and could only fund through central banks - even if it was 'managed' by the central banks it was still a lie - I'm sure we all agree that central management of interest rates is deception anyway
Once 'they' had Libor back 'under control' it was way out of whack with cds spreads and I no longer had any faith in Libor, xccy swap spreads were more honest for a while but i suspect there is a lot of 'management' of most numbers that could be a warning bell
I still think the pnl on that book was crazy big
True dat. I'm sure there was an opportunity to put on some new positions right before that big LIBOR dive down once someone got the word that "this is what's going to happen" from central planning's superhero crisis team.
Manipulation strongly suggests a nefarious intent.
We were only modulating LIBOR to maintain financial stability and overall trust in monetary and fiscal activities, for the general good. Gott Mit Uns, you know.
Bravo!

ZH sleuthing makes the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew look like amateurs. Oh, wait... .
Seems the practitioners in the "financial arts", the very ones who have a love of "fine risk" AND "fine chocolate" also have a love of something else: fine criminal networks and fine inside info. Fantastic stuff... let's see where it takes us.
best we, um, fine them (well worse actually, but you get my point)
Perhaps a better name for LinkedIn.com would be "Implicated.com"
Awesome work! Well done. Pulitzer worthy.
If only the regulators or law enforcement to whom this information should be useful gave a shit.
You rock. Keep after them... This whole thing is going to get VERY big and may ultimately get big enough to shake things up in a real way.
'That Lieborgate is about to spill over and take down many more banks is well known'
Shouldn't take much once things freeze up a little. I little nudge into position and great possibilities arise. Unfortunately synchronicity is beyond good and evil.

Were they smart enough to hide the money trail that lead to their multiple doomsteads?
Our bankster heroes are the soul of America. They perform miracles every day: they make something for nothing. They do the hustle. They do it well.
They bring out the very best and worst in us. They mezmerize us with glamor. They are our royalty.
So forget about putting them in jail, they should be presidents and senators, princes and pashas, wazirs and ambassadors.
We should be supporting them
Hell, we HAVE been supporting them. And in the manner to which they have become accustomed, I might add.
God of love ZH! The only place in the World for some truth. Thanks Tyler & Co.
Sinking ship: meet rats
Or is it the other way around?
Swiss are the biggest crooks and thieves anyone can ever come across. Time to expose the Swiss FBFL
It will be a cold day in hell before any government regulatory agency could come up with stuff like this before Zerohedge.
Up next - new corporate policy prohibiting any use of social networking - wait - any use of any networking other than that which is approved by corporate policy which is..... none.

Long time lurker and very rare poster; I have been around ever since the beginning of your blog days. I just wanted to stop in and say that you do some great work, please keep it up.
From one who works within the fedgov to eliminate waste (there's nothing I heart more than cancelling bad contracts and firing useless people - and yes, rest assured I am thoroughly conflicted about the source of my paycheck), I want to thank the Tylers for their awesome work.

Implicit in any working definition of "insider" is the bypass of risk, usually total bypass of any risk. I.e., an "insider" either [1] learns of future actions or [2], is himself the principal in deciding/causing the future acton [future action in the sense of actionable information].
Example of [1] is son of the CEO learning , with highest credibility, of quarterly sales/profits before public announcement. Or, even the newsmedia programmer prior to broadcast of financially important data.
Example of [2] is principal of corporation deciding to buy/sell an obviously valuable patent. Or, a mining engineer or chemist obtaining firm results on a new minerals site.
Insider: someone who gets any certain, advanced knowledge that might be actionable, even if the timing advance is just milliseconds in the case of pre-programmed computer action.
Any "skill" involved need only be in the acquisition/creation of the advanved knowledge.

So we have these bad boys in Switzer appearing to play bad with rigged numbers.Does anyone else think that these bad boys had to pay homage to the Dons, perhaps in cash deposited conveniently in a local numbered account?
Ain't a chance in hell these guys rigged the deal by themselves. The money trail goes very high, probably all the way to the top of the power srtucture, and I dont mean of the banks.
If this deal only goes as far up as the scapegoats we know the real criminals level. It is two levels above the convicted, the dirty bureaucrats.
