One afternoon in December, Bill arranged to see his old Deutsche partner Martin Loat. Bill showed up at Gail’s coffee shop in Chelsea, sweating in his gym clothes. The two men sat in the crowded café and reminisced about old times. Loat had been out of the banking industry for a decade now, ever since he quit in frustration with Ackermann, and he told Broeksmit that he had pared down his life. He lived in a smallish house by the River Thames—or at least it was small compared to the Belgravia mansion he’d previously occupied. He spent his time jogging, skiing, and going to pub quizzes (trivia nights) with his mates. “All the simple things,” Loat explained. He tried to get Broeksmit enthusiastic about this new phase of his life, but his former coworker was still dwelling on Deutsche. He asked Martin about that time, many years earlier, when Bill had advised him to cancel the derivatives deal with the confused client and then had relayed to him Reverend Jack’s lesson: Do right by others, be honest with them and treat them ethically, and things will work out in the end. Loat got the clear impression that Broeksmit was now wrestling with the same sort of problem at Deutsche—sketchy derivatives, big losses, an ethical morass. He asked Bill what was going on, but he demurred. Loat could tell that his friend was deeply troubled, but he didn’t push. After a few quiet moments, Bill changed the topic, and Martin let the conversation move on.
