Deutsche Bank (DB) Denies Allegations of Training in Market Manipulation

Deutsche Bank (DB) has denied allegations from former trader James Vorley, who claims the bank trained him to engage in market manipulation. Vorley is pursuing a £12 million ($16.2 million) case in the High Court, alleging he was instructed to employ strategies that led to his conviction in a U.S. federal court for wire fraud, specifically related to spoofing in gold and silver futures. Deutsche Bank stated that Vorley received appropriate training and that any improper strategies shown were informal and not officially sanctioned. The lawsuit adds to Deutsche's legal challenges, including a separate £660 million claim from former senior investment bankers.
