Tom Hayes, a former star trader at UBS and Citigroup, has been found guilty of eight counts of conspiring to rig Libor, the first conviction in the global scandal over the manipulation of benchmark interest rates.

瑞银(UBS)及花旗集团(Citigroup)前明星交易员汤姆眠耶斯(Tom Hayes)因合谋操纵伦敦银行间同业拆借利率(Libor)被判犯有八项罪行,成为这起全球基准利率操纵丑闻第一个被判有罪的人。

Hayes, a 35-year-old former yen derivatives trader who was described by one investigator in the case as “the Machiavelli of Libor”, was yesterday sentenced to 14 years in jail.

现年35岁的海耶斯此前是一名日元衍生品交易员,负责该案件的一名调查员曾形容他是“Libor的马基雅维利(Machiavelli)”。昨日海耶斯被判处14年监禁。

The conviction came three years after a then-record fine against Barclays sparked an international outcry over the rigging of benchmarks and billions of dollars in fines.

这一判决距离当年巴克莱(Barclays)的天价罚款已有三年时间。这起丑闻招致国际上对操纵基准行为的强烈愤怒和巨额罚款。

“What this case has shown is the absence of that integrity that ought to characterise banking,” the judge told Hayes in sentencing him on the eight charges he faced. “You were the centre, the hub of the conspiracy, and you involved others.”

法官在根据八项被判成立的罪名对海耶斯量刑时对他说:“本案显现了诚信的缺乏,而诚信本该是银行业的特征。你是这起案件的核心,是这桩阴谋的中枢,而且你牵涉了其他人。”
