"The FSA will consider re-approving him as a broker after the ban, if he has recovered from his alcohol problem"
'Mr Perkins was banned from trading for five years and hit with a £72,000 fine, reduced from £150,000 because of potential financial hardship.'
Only potential hardship is enough to halve the fine. In other words they're making a bet on the hardship futures market. If he's allowed to go back to trading millions of pounds in 5 years how much potential is there?
