Greenpeace employee loses millions in failed currency gamble

The know-it-alls, don’t know much about handling their own money.

Greenpeace has fired an employee who lost the environmental charity $5.47 million in a failed gamble on international currency markets, reports ABC Australia.

Greenpeace communications director Mike Townsley said the unnamed employee “went above his authority” in agreeing the deal with a broker who was meant to mitigate currency losses for the charity.
