Nick Leeson foi condenado a seis anos e meio de prisão em Singapura por ter sido considerado responsável pela falência em 1995 do mais antigo banco de investimento britânico, o banco Barings. Após ter cumprido a sua pena (reduzida por bom comportamento), de regresso a Inglaterra, foram-lhe propostos 5 cartões de crédito só na primeira semana. Nas suas palavras:
"I returned from Singapore in 1999, responsible for £862m worth of losses that brought down Britain's oldest investment bank, personally liable through an injunction for £100m, and yet within the space of a week had been offered five different credit cards. Ridiculous! Any central bank will tell you that the system exists on the premise of "responsible lending"; but the experiences of the past few years clearly show this is utter rubbish."
