A 42-year-old employee of a major trading company in Tokyo has been found to have made over 100 stock transactions during work hours. According to the Tokyo Regional Financial Bureau, the man, who was a team leader in the company's investment department, admitted to making the transactions for his own financial benefit. The bureau has imposed a disciplinary fine of 1 million yen on the man.
The man's supervisor at the company revealed that the man had been acting suspiciously for some time, often staying in the office late and making numerous phone calls. When questioned by the bureau, the man admitted to making the stock transactions, saying that he had been doing it for his own financial education.
The bureau stated that the man's actions were a violation of company rules and could have potentially led to a loss of trust in the company. The bureau added that it would take appropriate measures to ensure that such actions do not occur in the future.
The case highlights the importance of adhering to company rules and regulations regarding financial transactions, particularly in the financial industry where such transactions are subject to strict regulations.
