Trader who fought off market abuse fine barred for lying

Ex-Mizuho International prop trader banned from working in the regulated finance sector for misleading authorities during a market abuse case

A former Mizuho International trader who successfully fought a UK regulatory decision to bar him from the regulated finance sector for market abuse has been banned from the industry anyway.

The tribunal that had originally cleared him has found him unfit to work in the industry after deeming he had lied during the 2010 market abuse case.
