Société Générale was at the centre of a financial scandal in 2009. The bank denied those accusations. January 2008: Trading loss incident (Kerviel Fraud) On January 24, 2008, the bank announced that a single futures trader at the bank had fraudulently lost the bank €4.9 billion (an equivalent of US$7.2 billion), the largest such loss in history. The company did not name the trader, but other sources identified him as Jérôme Kerviel, a relatively junior futures trader who allegedly orchestrated a series of bogus transactions that spiraled out of control amid turbulent markets in 2007 and early 2008. Partly due to the
Classifying space for U(n) are in one-to-one correspondence with the homotopy classes of maps from "M" to CP. One also has the relation that that is, BU(1) is the infinite-dimensional projective unitary group. See that article for additional discussion and properties. For a torus "T", which is abstractly isomorphic to U(1) × ... × U(1), but need not have a chosen identification, one writes B"T". The topological K-theory "K"(B"T") is given by numerical polynomials; more details below. Let "F"(C) be the space of orthonormal families of "n" vectors in C and let "G"(C) be the Grassmannian of "n"-dimensional subvector spaces of C. The total
