Yes, rogue trading is a crime

Why Toshihide Iguchi, who covered up $1.1bn of losses over 12 years, is wrong to argue that the best remedy against rogue trading is to decriminalize it.

Toshihide Iguchi, a rogue trader who once lost $1.1 billion at Daiwa Bank, is arguing in a new memoir that rogue trading should not be treated as a crime.
