Kweku Adoboli, the former UBS AG trader on trial over a $2.3 billion loss, said he hasn’t been able to find any current or former UBS employees to testify on his behalf because they fear the bank.

“People have been in touch and said we’d like to help you but we can’t,” Adoboli told a court on his fourth day of testimony. “Across the industry, there is no one who’s been willing to stand up to the machine.”
