Greenpeace gets most of its income in Euros and so enters into Forex contracts to protect its income stream. Seems someone took out a few contracts over and above his pay grade without adequate controls - a rogue trader if you will - and they went bad. He's been shown the door.

Embarrassing, but only newsworthy 'cos its a green charity. Unless you're some kind of zealot.

Luxembourg to Amsterdam is about the same as London to Leeds, hardly a long haul. And Greenpeace is still very much active in India.

C'mon, this is very lacklustre zealotry. Must do better. The only reason I let you have the last word on the 'Telegraph' thread was cos'it was so feeble.
