According to the news, Leeson [br]
How do you blow I billion? With that much money, you could buy every jewel in Tiffany’s, collect a small fleet of 747s... or bankrupt a vulnerable bank. That’s what Nicholas Leeson apparently did. The 2g-year-old trader for British investment house Barings PLC. in Singapore staked more than 1 billion of the company’s money last winter on Japanese derivatives, and got tsunamied. For weeks he tried to recoup his mounting losses with double-or-nothing bets and doctored bookkeeping. He was arrested in Frankfurt on his way to London. Germany extradited him to Singapore last month, where he was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison. Leeson is appealing.
选项
A、Leeson failed when staking the company’s money on Japanese derivatives.
B、Leeson was extradited to Singapore.
C、Leeson was arrested on his way back to London.
D、Leeson accepted the six-and-half-year sentence.
答案
D
解析
题干中的NOT为否定表达,新闻中没有提到的或与新闻内容相矛盾的为答案。新闻最后一句提到Lesson is appealing,而D 说他接受了判决是与事实相反的,故答案为D 。
