James Archer (stock trader)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Archer is the son of Jeffrey Archer, the ex Tory politician.

James Archer and two former colleagues at Credit Suisse First Boston, known as the "Flaming Ferraris", have been barred from working in London's financial centre, after being found guilty of manipulating the stock market by selling shares in a Swedish company to deliberately drive down the firm's share price in December 1998.[1] He went to Eton and became captain of the athletics team. He then went to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he and three friends shared a large three-storey house with a Colombian hired help who did the laundry and cleaning and provided breakfast in bed.[2]
