What the Media Say About Andy
Wall Street Journal: "Just 31 years old, Andrew J. Krieger was Bankers Trust Co.'s most valuable employee in 1987. Trading currencies, he earned $300 million for the bank, and for his efforts he was paid $3 million in salary and bonus, mostly bonus. That's a stunning sum, and almost twice what the company's chairman got in his pay envelope last year. It was quite an achievement for a young man who just four years ago was studying Sanskrit in graduate school."
The Economist: "Remember the Big Swinging Dicks made famous by Michael Lewis in his novel, “Liar's Poker”? One BSD merits such a mention. In the 1980s Andy Krieger was a star at Bankers Trust... In his heyday there, Mr Krieger made hundreds of millions of trading profits... And here is a measure of just how big a BSD Mr Krieger was. During 1987 he sold short (hoping to buy back more cheaply in future) more kiwis than the entire money supply of New Zealand."
Philadelphia Magazine: "Within five years he had become the world's hottest currency trader, earning a stunning $300 million in 1987 for Bankers Trust Co. ... There are only a few people in the world whose resignation can grab a whole column on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Nixon did it. Iacocca did it. And Paul Volcker did it. Andy Krieger did it too. That's because he was one of a handful of people who could throw markets into disarray by moving $1 billion worth of currency with the push of a few buttons on his car phone."
The Times: "Krieger, a tall, quietly spoken 48-year-old, is not another aid worker or journalist filing a report on the disaster. He is one of Wall Street's foremost currency traders, who was once groomed as a successor to George Soros.In 1986 he became global head of currency options trading at Bankers Trust, where he increased profits from $56 million to $512 million in a year.Krieger's dreams today revolve around rebuilding coastal India. After the tsunami struck he hired a cargo aircraft, loaded it with $3.6 million (£1.9 million) of medicine and tried to fly it to India."
Trader Monthly: "For taking groundbreaking risks in foreign-exchange trading – Krieger, in one of history's boldest trades, once single-handedly shorted the entire monetary reserves of New Zealand – and for having the cantaloupes to tell the Street's biggest players to go screw themselves, Trader Monthly welcomes forex's most foremost genius as the latest inductee into the Trader Hall of Fame."
New York Times: "Andrew J. Krieger, the successful young currency trader whose departure from the Bankers Trust Company in February set the Wall Street rumor mill buzzing, is quitting his second job this year. Mr. Krieger, who joined Soros Fund Management Inc. in April as senior portfolio manager, announced yesterday that he would form his own trading company."
