ALTERNATE CROP TO PAR101 DATED OCT 5 2010 - Jerome Kerviel, followed by his lawyer Olivier Metzner, arrives at the Paris courthouse, Tuesday Oct. 5, 2010. The Paris court will hand down a verdict in the case of the former French trader accused of masterminding one of history's biggest trading frauds and costing one of France's largest banks billions in losses. Kerviel, the 33-year-old former index futures trader at Societe Generale SA, risks five years in prison and a euro 375,000 ($513,000) fine on charges related to the claim that he covered up bets worth nearly euro 50 billion, or more than the bank was worth, between late 2007 and early 2008.
