On Sept. 18, 2008, Trader A explained to Broker A of Broker Firm A: “if you keep 6s [i.e. the six-month Japanese Libor rate] unchanged today... I will f***ing do one humongous deal with you ... Like a 50, 000 buck deal, whatever. I need you to keep it as low as possible ... if you do that ... I’ll pay you, you know, 50,000 dollars, 100,000 dollars ... whatever you want ... I’m a man of my word.”
