A year ago today a group of us in @business Zurich office looked bewildered at one another after covering what was "the best of a bunch of bad options" to avoid triggering a global financial crisis akin to the 2008. What had just happened?! UBS rescue-bought Credit Suisse. 1/3

If you have a Credit Suisse story to share, I'd love to hear it: the great, the good, the bad and the ugly. Send me a DM or reach me on mhalftermeye@bloomberg.net. 3/3

The Q still lingers: How did this happen? I'll answer that question in a forthcoming book about @CreditSuisse. It'll be a deeply reported account of the downfall, tracing how the iconic institution became consumed by infighting, hubris, and risk-taking. 2/3

There will be an online information event on Oct. 25 at 5pm CET (registration a this link bloomberg.recsolu.com/app/collect/ev…) And if you want to apply straight away careers.bloomberg.com/job/detail/119…

UBS is the last big bank standing in Switzerland. Can CEO Ermotti make it the deal of a lifetime? Proud to share a last big piece covering Swiss banks. Moving on to a new challenge with Bloomberg at the end of the year. More details on that coming soon! shorturl.at/inFGY

I’ve been writing about #CreditSuisse and #UBS for a while and as the date nears that the former will cease to exist, as an observer, I hear a lot about what’s it like to be in the limbo: retention or redundancy. If you’re being affected, I’d like to hear your stories.

A mini moment of calm in this busy banking reporter’s life

How Credit Suisse was undone. Brilliant work by @MHalftermeyer @DNair5 and @abhinavvr and many others. It took just 6 days for CS to collapse. Here's how one of the world's biggest banks was sold at a knockdown price Read The Big Take ⬇️ bloomberg.com/news/features/… via @business

The Briefing: @MHalftermeyer on UBS rescuing Credit Suisse in a government-brokered deal, Thailand’s parliament is dissolved ahead of May’s election and @olgatokariuk has the latest from #Ukraine. Plus: papers with @feap fal.cn/3wIhv

Just the tip of the iceberg of coverage we are putting out for y’all on the Credit Suisse situation. All via @business Stunning work from our colleagues across the globe. Follow them: @myriamBalez @eyk_henning @GillianTan @DNair5 @jhfor @GriffithsKath_ @ak_mna @bbenrath

Here's THAT @BloombergTV @youseftv interview with Credit Suisse's top shareholder. CS clearly got fed up of sharing the headlines w/ SVB. Thoughts & prayers to our stellar Zurich reporting crew @MHalftermeyer @myriamBalez @Jeffrey_Black bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Credit Suisse shares plunged to a record low on Wednesday. @edludlow and @MHalftermeyer summarize what's happening in the banking sector. Presented by Comcast Business

Not a great look when your long time shareholder calls it quits after you decide to do what they'd been calling for. Harris Associates dumped its shareholding in Credit Suisse after some 2 decades of sticking with the bank. Enough is enough, it seems. bloom.bg/3STb5mo

@StevenArons Where I can get one???

My son's new bookmark...looks like a runover frog. He got it at my daughter's Xmas bazaar. A classmate's grandma crocheted it 😂😂😂😂

brutal chart from @MHalftermeyer and @myriamBalez showing just how massive the amount of money is that clients have yanked from Credit Suisse this quarter bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

With my esteemed colleagues @myriamBalez @DonalGriffin1 @hugodmiller for @business @markets

We dug in to see what lessons Credit Suisse missed in its past episodes. From investment banking to private banking and across geographies--and it is imperative it heeds those lessons now. It may be the bank's last chance to get it right. It's a long read, but well worth it.

For more than 160 years, Credit Suisse has exuded power, stability and quiet wealth. Those days are over. Beyond capital and costs, a real recovery hinges on the bank's ability to overcome its past scandals. bloom.bg/3XmuwGf
