IT professionals will be happy to learn they can now count star (or is it “rogue”?) trader Jerôme Kerviel as one of their colleagues.
The French media revealed yesterday that Kerviel had been hired a couple of weeks ago by an IT consulting firm, LCA. The company’s owner, Jean-Raymond Lemaire, told Agence France Presse Kerviel has been working as a consultant since the beginning of April.
The SocGen trader had stayed at Lemaire’s home when the trading scandal came out earlier this year and was initially banned from meeting with him, as part of his conditional release from prison. Lemaire said the restriction was no longer in effect.
