The Top 12 Weirdest Banker Scandals Of All Time


Over the past few days, the Dominique Strauss Kahn sex scandal went from bizarre to crazy and crazier.(No wonder movie producers have already pitched 17 scripts about it.) But DSK is far from the only banker to become embroiled in a sex scandal.
According to BusinessInsider some sex scandals end fatally, like the Milkshake Murder and the Cecile Brossard 'sex game gone wrong' killing. Others are just weird -- like the financial adviser who ejaculated into his female co-workers drink bottle multiple times:

12. The banker, the petrol head and the prostitute Main players: Peter Detwiler, then-vice chairman of stock brokerage E.F. Hutton; Robert West, then-Tesoro Petroleum Chairman; and one prostie

11. The insider trading with the porn star scandal: The main players: James McDermott, then CEO of investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, and Kathryn Gannon, a Canadian porn star known as 'Marilyn Star.'

The scandal: McDermott -- married with two kids -- was arrested in 1999 for tipping porn star Gannon, who was his mistress, on 5 impending bank deals. She earned $88,000 trading on the tips. He served 5 months in prison and was fined $25,000.

10. The Goldman Sachs/BP director perjury scandal: The main players: Lord John Browne, then CEO of BP and a Goldman Sachs director, and his lover Jeff Chevalier.
The scandal: After the pair broke up, Chevalier alleged that Browne allowed BP funds to be "used to set him up in business." Browne then lied in court about how he met Chevalier, when he was trying to get an injunction against a newspaper about the relationship. Browne said they met while jogging; he'd really met him on an online escort service…
