Rogue trader's new job

It didn't take him long. Jérôme Kerviel, the trader and computer whiz who evaded Société Générale's electronic risk-control systems has landed a new job - working for an IT consultancy.

He has started his new gig just a few weeks after his release from prison. It's a big risk for the consulting firm LCA. Just how are they going to explain to clients that they have just hired someone who faces charges of forgery, breach of trust and computer hacking and who is still awaiting trial?

But as Forbes points out, Kerviel's new job might give him some deja vu - crisis management and mediation when projects run over budget might be easy work for someone who took $70 billion in bogus trading positions.
