Today Mark Johnson, head of HSBC global cash foreign exchange trading, was declared guilty of front running. His defense lawyer said that "pre-hedging" is a standard in the industry and that Cairn knew in advance that HSBC was going to make these trades.
What's your take on the matter? Also is front running on a smaller scale prevalent in the industry or is it that only a few bad apples partake in it and get caught?
