Ex-Hedge Fund Boss Loses Claim Versus RBS on Ponzi Account

Bloomberg reports that Jeremy Stone, a former portfolio manager at Marble Bar Asset Management LLP, sued NatWest and an employee, Paul Aplin, seeking as much as $40.7m. He claimed Aplin and the bank were negligent for not spotting suspicious activity.

Stone and members of his family who were employed by his investment firm gave testimony that was 'heavily colored by a very strong wish that they had not been duped as they were and a strong impulse to think' someone else must be to blame, Judge Philip Sales wrote in a ruling Monday.

Aplin, who managed the accounts, was an honest man, Sales said, adding he didn’t fault the bank for using automated systems to detect fraud.
