French hacker banker out of jail, has already found a new job in IT

Jerome Cerviel, a former trader of the French bank Société Générale, who was the author of the largest banking fraud in the history of mankind, was released from prison several weeks ago. What is interesting, immediately after his release he was offered a new job . Now "the most brilliant hacker of our time" will try himself in the field of IT consulting in the company Lemaire Consultants & Associés.

Hacker banker spent in custody a little more than a month. Despite € 4.9 billion in damages for his own bank, the court found Kerviel’s fault insignificant, since he didn’t see his actions of a special intent. The hacker turned over billions and broke into the banking computer system not with the aim of stealing money, but to bring more profit to his own bank, to receive a bonus and advance in service. If it were not for the general crisis in world stock markets, then he should have succeeded.

Investigation of the circumstances of the fraud Kerviel continues to this day. Under the terms of the release, it is now forbidden for him to engage in trading and to contact his former colleagues from Société Générale.
