there have been hints/rumors about Credit Suisse  for years ,  now whether  that was malicious gossip  by a rival/competitor or a disgruntled client ( or 'trickle truth ' )  is yet to be fully disclosed ,

 interesting that the low-ranking bond/hybrid holders got wiped out and not converted into shares ( since UBS is doing an all scrip deal ) and everyone else got a compromise deal


 similar   folks holding low-ranking debt  elsewhere should be increasingly alarmed  ( especially when UBS shares was a cheap consolation prize .. aka more picking winners )


now getting shares in a previously rescued ( in the GFC ) bank , might not be the greatest consolation prize  , considering BOTH the largest banks in Switzerland  have needed radical rescues within the last 20 years .


one might then ask if anyone with serious money should leave any of it in Switzerland


 will be interesting times going forward
