Wolfgang Flöttl is an Austrian investment banker. After receiving a J.D. from Vienna University in 1978, he studied for an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1981 as well as from the London School of Economics. He joined Kidder Peabody & Co. where he advanced to Vice President. In 1987, Flöttl formed an investment fund along with an Austrian Bank which was a major investor in the fund. After ten years of substantial returns the fund suffered heavy losses when the Dollar lost over 15% in value against the Yen in a matter of days. In 2006, the management of the bank was charged with breach of trust and Flöttl with assistance breach of trust. On 4 July 2008 he was convicted of assistance of breach of trust. He appealed the court's decision. In December 2010 Austria’s Supreme Court (OGH) set the conviction aside. The prosecution decided to retry the case with a new trial. On 18 December 2012 he was acquitted of all charges. On 15 May 2013, with the prosecution’s decision not to appeal, the full acquittal became final and legally binding.
