    Wow – judging from that last photo, those Mizuho guys are pretty adept at the “clean and jerk”. (Quite well staged!)

    that’s hilarious…
    I am surprised more stink wasn’t made about the fact UBS (and others that profited) are returning the gains, yet when UBS made a similar error in earlier times, the Japanese banks kept the profit….booo.
