VOICED: French rogue trader appeals five-billion-e

The transcript discusses the appeal of a 2010 conviction related to risky stock market activities that nearly collapsed Societe Generale, a major French bank. The original verdict sentenced the trader to five years in jail and a €4.9 billion repayment.
