A jacket said to have belonged to bank-breaking trader Nick Leeson is being auctioned on eBay. The Barings Bank jacket has “Nick” embroidered on the inside pocket, and former bank staff have said it is one worn by Leeson. The sale is being run by KPMG, the firm brought in to liquidate the collapsed bank. Bidding currently stands at £16,000, but the reserve has not yet been met.
