Britain’s Financial Services Authority fined UBS $47.5 million on Monday for failing to prevent a massive trading loss by a former trader, the New York Times reports:

UBS was found to have had serious weaknesses in the internal controls of its investment banking unit. The failings allowed Kweku M. Adoboli, a former trader at the bank, to rack up a multibillion-dollar trading loss last year after he carried out a series of unauthorized trades.
