Inside Story Special: £830,000,000 – Nick Leeson and the Fall of the House of Barings
PDF: When banking giant Barings collapsed in 1995, it shook the financial world to its core. How could a bank that survived the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars with France, and both great wars collapse so quickly? Sir Francis Baring, lst Baronet (1740–1810), founded the family banking firm, originally named John & Francis Baring & Company, in London in 1763. By the time of Sir Francis’ death in 1810, his company had become the leading banking house in Europe. Leadership of the firm passed to his second son, Alexander Baring, afterward 1st Baron Ashburton (1774–1848), who married Anne Bingham, a member of one of the wealthiest families in Pennsylvania, and who secured for Baring Brothers the leadership (until the American Civil War, 1861–65) in financing U.S. foreign trade and selling U.S. bonds. As ambassador to the United States, Lord Ashburton. Francis Baring became a director of the East India Company and was a staunch supporter and financial advisor of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, who made him a baronet in 1793.
Thomas Nelson Perkins, a descendant of the opium-and-slaves shipping magnate who founded Russell and Company, became the Morgan Bank’s chief Boston agent, through Perkins’s First National Bank of Boston. Morgan and Perkins, among other things, provided the major endowments for Harvard University.
John Kerry’s maternal grandfather, James Grant Forbes, was born in Shanghai, China, where the Forbes family of China and Boston accumulated a fortune in the opium and China trade.
Early Notables of the Matheson family (pre 1700) Notable amongst the Clan from early times was Margaret Matson, one of two women tried in Philadelphia for witchcraft in 1683; Sir James Nicolas Sutherland Matheson (1796-1878), born in Shiness, Lairg, who made a great fortune in the opium trade, and was created the 1st Baronet of Lewis in 1851.

Fannie Coralie Perkins, FRANCIS PERKINS
Frances Perkins grew up in Worcester, MA. She changed her name from Fannie to Frances when she married. Although she kept her maiden name, refusing to take his name. Actually defending her right to do so in court. She was the first female United States Cabinet member, serving as Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1945. She is buried in Newcastle Cemetery on River Road, in Newcastle, Lincoln County, Maine with some of her ancestors.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1929, New York State Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Frances Perkins as the Industrial Commissioner of the State of New York. FDR recognized her intelligence, wit, and no-nonsense attitude and knew she was right for the job. She took full advantage of her new position to help the impoverished. Though the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt didn’t begin pushing through the slate of wide-ranging progressive reforms and programs known as the New Deal until the 1930s, Frances Perkins later said that March 25, 1911 was “the day the New Deal was born.”
Warren Delano, Jr., the grandfather of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was chief of operations for Russell & Co., another Boston trading firm which did big business in the China opium trade in Canton.

License-Plate Scans Aid Crime-Solving but Spur Little Privacy Debate
License-plate readers are feeding immense databases with details on Americans’ driving habits, helping solve crimes despite little public awareness about the breadth of the data collected or how it is used.
The vast network of automated license-plate scanners, which has been growing for decades, makes it nearly impossible to drive anywhere in the U.S. without being observed. The scanners first appeared on telephone poles and police cars, then on toll plazas and bridges, and in parking lots. Today, scanners are routinely placed on tow trucks and municipal garbage trucks, gathering images of plates on cars they pass while making their rounds.
Comcast upgrade backfired, reducing uploads from 20 to 16Mbps until it was fixed.
Jon Brodkin – 3/10/2021, 2:10 PM
Some Comcast customers received an unwelcome surprise yesterday morning when their upload speeds were suddenly lowered from 20Mbps to 16Mbps. Comcast was raising download speeds on its “Extreme Pro” tier from 600Mbps to 800Mbps—good news, to be sure—but the plan’s relatively paltry 20Mbps upload speeds received a simultaneous 20 percent cut.
Customers affected by the change complained to Comcast, and two of them emailed Ars yesterday. When we passed these complaints on to Comcast public relations, a spokesperson initially told us that “there was no change to the upstream speed.” But after we pointed out that customers were in fact getting reduced upload speeds, Comcast investigated further and discovered it made a mistake while rolling out download-speed upgrades for some of its plans.
“The customers who received the [download] speed increase last night should now be seeing the correct upload speeds in their usage meter,” Comcast told Ars last night. “When we pushed the speed increase overnight, there was an issue with how the upload speeds were provisioned, which is why the meter and our internal tools that our care agents use were showing the upload speed of 16Mbps. Once you notified us, we quickly looked into it and everything should be correct now.”
The fix is rolling out automatically so customers don’t have to do anything, Comcast said. “For a period of less than 24 hours, customers would have seen slightly slower upload speeds,” Comcast told us. “This issue only impacted customers in our Central markets who received this [download] speed increase from 600Mbps to 800Mbps.”
Comcast overprovisions speeds so that customers often get a bit more than their advertised plan states. This strategy can reduce user complaints in general, and it means that customers’ uploads weren’t necessarily cut all the way down to 16Mbps when yesterday’s bug hit.
Comcast told us that the problem affected users in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Comcast often makes network changes one region at a time, so we assume customers in other states will get the download-speed increases later on if they haven’t already.
