144 - Suisse miss
Mar 24, 2023•1 hr 10 min•Ep. 144
Episode description
In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, and they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and yet their second largest bank has still collapsed. What went wrong? It's a story of fraud, spying, kickbacks, Bulgarian drug-dealers and all-round Suisse poor risk management. Plus, the Fed keeps hiking through the turmoil, do bailouts sow the seeds of the next crisis, and JPMorgan is left holding a bag of rocks.
Apologies for Ivan's terrible audio in this episode. He was reporting from deep under the water where you can find Credit Suisse's AT-1 bonds.
