  The bank will never have reported him to authorities had his rogue trades yielded a windfall.
  
  This young man doesn't deserve 7 years.

  Many White traders have done similar trades but failed to win money for their banks and instead of prosecuting them in courts they were given options of resigning why shouldn't same be given to Mr Kweku Adoboli? And why should he be denied an appeal by the court? This shows RACISM is at play in this case.
  Since this case came up Ghanaweb has always termed Mr.Adoboli as a"rogue trader", Kweku never stole any money from the bank.Options trading is like gambling, it is either win or loose.Do you think if Kweku had won a sizable money for his bank would the bank publish that their "star trader"have made them rich? Knowing how the Brits are the former US Ambassador to the United Nations Mr.Andrew Young once said the British invented Racism and it runs in their blood.We all wish Mr.Kweku Adoboli a success in his second try for an appeal.All his unknown friends and well wishers know that he is not a"rogue trader" as Ghanaweb want its readers to believe but a respectable trader who had wanted to make his company rich but it did not come up the way he and his employers wanted.

  THAT'S THE PRICE A BLACK MAN PAYS FOR ALWAYS TRYING TO PLEASE A RACIST WHITE EMPLOYER.
  
  WHITES OR COLOURED PEOPLE NEVER SEE ANYTHING GOOD WITH BLACK PEOPLE.
  
  THEIR RACIST TENDENCIES ALWAYS MAKES THEM FOCUS ON BLACKS, WHILE WHITE EMPLOYEES COMMIT TERRIBLE CRIMES AND GO UNSCATHED.
  
  WHITES/COLOURED CRIMINALS ARE CAUGHT ONLY WHEN THEY'VE COMMITTED CRIMES OF UNIMAGINABLE PROPORTIONS.
  
  AT THE END OF THE DAY, BLACKS HAVE TO BLAME THEMSELVES, INCLUDING BLACK LEADERS, FOR ALWAYS LICKING WHITE PEOPLES ARSE FOR A PITTANCE.
  
  I'M PRETTY SURE ADOBOLI WAS PAID A FRACTION OF WHAT WHITES GOT PAID MONTHLY AT UBS, BUT WELL, THAT'S LIFE.
  
  BLACKS WILL CONTINUE TO LICK WHITE PEOPLES ARSE IF THE LIKES OF J.A. KUFUOR, JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND THE LIKE CONTINUE TO KOWTOW TO WHITES OR COLOURED PEOPLE.
  
  AN INDIAN OR CHINESE LEADER WILL NEVER GO TO AN AFRICAN LEADER TO BEG FOR FINANCIAL AID OR LOAN CONSTRUCT A WHOLE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE, OR CONSTRUCT AN AU HEADQUARTERS IN AFRICA.
  
  UNTIL BLACK AFRICAN LEADERS STOP DISGRACING THE BLACK RACE, WE BLACKS SHALL CONTINUE TO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF COLOURED PEOPLE, AND CONTINUE TO BE A LAUGHING STOCK GLOBALLY.

  A rogue trader?Adoboli is never a rogue trader as the British establishment describes him.He went for massive profit for UBS and he lost. What would have happened if he had succeeded?Meanwhile because of his origin he was described as a holder of British passport but not as a British.It is strange that the UBS his employer was not a party to the prosecution.What Adoboli did is common in the investment division of all the big banks.They encourage their staff to make huge profits for them for fat bonuses.

You are an idiot; you need to know that whatever people think of us is an image that has been created by us Asantes ourselves - just like you've just done.

  If you know the character of this young man's dad, you will know how he was raised, and you will know that he was simply trying to the good that he has been praised for, all along by UBS, for doing for the Bank. There is not even the slightest stain of greed, selfishness or the capacity to defraud in this boy, because that is what the father John is, and I know that John taught Kweku all he knows. There is the saying that, the mango does not fall far from the trees - and that is so true in the case of Kweku and his dad John.

  All opinions voiced here are high on misguided emotions, very open racism, and based on a total lack of information!
  Of course, white traders who screwed up were equally sentenced. And there were some!
