COMPARING CREDIT SUSSIE'S STRUGGLE WITH COLLAPSING OF BYZANTINE EMPIRE?

Ex-Credit Suisse bankers are leaving London for Milan

"It’s a slight exaggeration to compare Credit Suisse’s struggles to the collapse of the Byzantine empire, but they certainly have one thing in common: experienced professionals moving to Italy.

For the Byzantines, those professionals were the Greek scholars that kickstarted the renaissance. For Credit Suisse, it’s bankers. We’ve spotted two leaving the Swiss bank in London… And heading to Milan.

Enrico Mezan is one of them. He spent 22 years at Credit Suisse, most notably with the structuring team for European capital markets transactions. He was in the M&A team before that. Mezan joins White Bridge Investments, an Italian private equity firm, in Milan as an MD and member of the board.

The other is Andrea Berti, who joins UniCredit, the traditional big Italian financial institution, in the Technology, Media, and Telecoms (TMT) M&A group. He spent just a year and a half at Credit Suisse, leaving as a senior director, and was with HSBC before that."

Behind the global crisis in the financial sector

Globe and Mail Update The year-old credit crunch has become a full-scale financial crisis that this week alone has seen the collapse of a major Wall Street investment bank, the sale of another and a move by the U.S. Federal Reserve to bail out a private insurer to the tune of $85-billion (U.S.). Four Report on Business reporters explain what's behind the global shockwaves. Why are credit markets frozen, and why won't banks lend to each other? Credit markets have dried up because lenders fear they won't be paid back. Fear of the unknown has caused banks and other institutions to hoard their money. Worry that more financial institutions will fail has made banks reluctant to lend to one another, exacerbating the situation and raising the chance that another bank will find itself without enough funds.
