Trader Dave safe, thanks to campaign

Earlier this month, as Australia’s 7 News was carrying out a serious interview on Aussie interest rates with a senior Macquarie private wealth professional, client investment manager David Kiely was spotted carrying out a serious analysis of scantily clad supermodel Miranda Kerr’s recent GQ photoshoot.

When he was tipped off by a colleague, he quickly closed down the screen, with a guilty look at the camera. Naturally the clip was put on YouTube and caused somewhat of a stir in the banking community. However, financial market website Here is the City started a ’Save Dave’ campaign. Readers were encouraged to send emails of support to his firm. The global response was so great, Macquarie Bank issued the following statement: ’He will remain an employee of Macquarie. Macquarie and the employee apologise for the offence that he may have caused.’ So the moral of the story is, if you’ve committed a minor indiscretion at work, which has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people, don’t call Ghostbusters - call HereistheCity.com.
