A bottle of "(Nick) Leeson Lager" produced in honor of the jailed former trader whose losses helped bring down Barings Bank is displayed on the bar at Harry's Bar, a place frequented by Leeson while he worked for Barings, Thursday June 24, 1999, in Singapore. The lable on the bottle reads "Leeson Lager - probably the world's most expensive beer - U.S. $1.4 billion proof." Leeson is widely expected to be released from prison in Singapore July 3.
