Same as the Old Left
>Outside Agitator
>Naomi Klein and the new new left.
At the time they were ruining their lives for politics, Anne and Philip were experiencing the beginnings of a crisis of faith. Stalin had signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact: that was the first betrayal. Then came news of gulags in the Soviet Union. By the time of Khrushchev's "secret speech" of 1956, in which he denounced the cult of Stalin and its consequences, Philip and Anne, along with many others, had bitterly abandoned Communism. *yeah riiiiiggght**They held on to their core beliefsin social justice and racial equality,and taught their sons to believe in those things,but apart from brief forays-Anne took ten-year-old Michael canvassing for the Progressive Party in 1948, andmarched on Washington in support of the Rosenbergs-they withdrew from politics. They began to spend time at Nature Friends (later Camp Midvale)-a retreat near Paterson, founded in the twenties as a place where workers of all races could congregate and enjoy nature. Nature Friends became their life. Philip built a house nearby, and Anne grew her own vegetables. They went to see leftist singers like Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson and Woody Guthrie. Philip sought to revive his early ambition of becoming a painter, but all his figures looked like Disney cartoons. He tried sculpting in metal, and after a while this brought him a measure of satisfaction.
In high school,Michael Kleinwas in the band and the student council and was the captain of the swim team,but he led a double life. He'd been sent to Socialist summer camp, and his real friends were other red-diaper babies who lived in New York, with whom he could discuss his home life without fear of exposure. It was difficult and frightening to be the child of Communists.One of his most vivid childhood memories was seeing buses arrive at Camp Midvale in the early fall of 1949 and disgorge dozens of bloodied people who had gone to a Paul Robeson concert and had been attacked with rocks and bats by a local mob. The electrocution of the Rosenbergs, in 1953, which left their two boys orphaned at the ages of six and ten, terrified Michael, who was not much older.
Michael Klein never deviated from the beliefs of his parents,but, like them, he stayed away from political parties. In medical school, he protested against the Vietnam War and joined Physicians for Social Responsibility. When he was drafted,he didn't sign the statement about not belonging to organizations with Communist ties, so the Army held a hearing to decide whether he was loyal enough to serve. Meanwhile, he had met a young activist filmmaker from Philadelphia named Bonnie Sherr, and got her pregnant. In the middle of his draft negotiations, she saw a documentary about American soldiers dropping napalm on civilian populations, commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She said, "If a Canadian government agency can produce a film like this, we should get married and run away to Canada." So they did.

Dianne Feinstein's Daughter Says Her Mom Is Victim of Elder Abuse: Report
Katherine Feinstein, the daughter of Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, alleged her mother is a victim of elder abuse against her mother in a recent court filing.
According to Katherine, the co-trustees of a trust associated with the senator's late husband Richard Blum have failed to fund a trust created by the late businessman.
Blum died last February and was worth an estimated $1 billion at the time of his death.
SF Gate reported Sen. Feinstein's daughter, who she recently surrendered a partial power of attorney to, went to a court on Aug. 8 to allege the men responsible for overseeing the fund have not made "required distributions" to her mother.
She has accused Michael Klein, Marc Scholvinck, and Verett Mims of financial elder abuse.
According to the court filing, Katherine Feinstein has accused the three of purposely withholding regular payments to her mother from the fund because she believes they hope to see most of it eventually go to Blum's children.
The senator is the fund's sole beneficiary of Blum's fund. Katherine was a teenager when her mother married the wealthy investor.
She has asked a judge to suspend Klein, Scholvinck and Mims from managing the account.
An attorney for Klein and Scholvinck filed a motion on Aug. 10 in which he disputed Katherine's claims of elder abuse.
"The trustees have acted ethically and appropriately at all times; the same cannot be said for Katherine Feinstein," attorney Steven Braccini said.
According to SF Gate, Braccini also called Katherine's allegation "unconscionable" and accused her of working for her own self-gain.
Allegations of elder abuse come as Sen. Feinstein faces calls to step down from her seat amid allegations she is too frail to adequately represent her constituents.
Feinstein, who is 90 and the country's longest-serving senator, was absent due to health reasons from February until May.
For a time earlier this year, Senate Democrats were absent both Feinstein and Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who was hospitalized for depression.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein alleges financial abuse in lawsuit over her husband's estate
WASHINGTON - Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has called to remove the trustees of her late husband's estate, alleging that they committed financial abuse against her, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month.
Feinstein's late husband, Richard Blum, died last year. According to the lawsuit, he established a trust in the 1990s that was supposed to be created for the California lawmaker after his death. The trust was required to be funded with $5 million in cash and other securities, with Feinstein's income distributed to her in frequent installments.
The lawsuit alleges that the current trustees of Blum's account ? Michael Klein, Marc Scholvinck and Verett Mims ? haven't funded or made any of the required income distributions to the 90-year-old senator, and have refused Feinstein's requests to do so.
"The Trustees have committed financial abuse of Senator Feinstein… by wrongfully withholding distributions to which the RCB Trust entitles her in bad faith and diverting assets that they should have used" to fund the trust, the lawsuit says.
The filing marks the latest development in Feinstein's legal struggle after her husband's death. She also filed lawsuits alleging similar misconduct in both June and July, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
The July filing alleged that Feinstein had "incurred significant medical expenses." Feinstein spent nearly three months away from Congress after she was hospitalized with shingles in March earlier this year, and she has suffered other illnesses and health scares.
In response to that filing, Steven Braccini, an attorney representing Klein and Scholvinck, said in a statement that his clients had "never denied any disbursement to Senator Feinstein, let alone for medical expenses," according to CBS News. The August lawsuit denies Braccini's claim.
A hearing for the June case is scheduled later this month and a hearing for the July case is scheduled for September, the Chronicle reported.

Credit Suisse Sees First Boston IPO by 2025 Amid Investor Search
Credit Suisse Group AG's top executive said he expects to take the firm's carved-out investment bank public by 2025 as he continues to search for investors in the business that will revive the storied First Boston name. "We have a very clear plan to put it into market, creating a liquidity event, most likely an IPO, and expect such an event in 2025," Ulrich Koerner, the chief executive officer of Credit Suisse, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV's Francine Lacqua. Asked if the bank was closer to finding an anchor investor, Koerner said "we are close to, but I don't know if it's an anchor investor. We have a lot of interest from third parties to be invested."
The First Boston spinoff is a centerpiece of Koerner's restructuring plan, unveiled last year after racking up huge losses and battling to retain top talent following a string of scandals. In separating the business, the CEO is seeking to protect the best-performing investment bank parts, such as advising on mergers and acquisitions, while pivoting the parent company further toward wealth management. Credit Suisse announced earlier today that senior leaders in the carved-out unit are expected to receive up to 20% of shares. Employees would receive restricted share units after an IPO, which would vest three years later and be subject to a further holding requirement.
Credit Suisse previously said it wants to be ready to list the unit by the end of 2024 or early 2025. As part of the carve-out, the investment bank boutique of former board member Michael Klein, who had pushed for the plan, will be integrated into CS First Boston. Credit Suisse, which agreed to buy Klein's business, will remain majority shareholder of CS First Boston, Koerner said.

But will SA save CS
Credit Suisse shares rise after reports of Saudi Crown Prince interest in IB stake
By Scott Kanowsky
Investing.com – Shares in Credit Suisse Group AG (SIX:CSGN) climbed on Monday on a Wall Street Journal report that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and U.S. private equity investors are preparing to build stakes in the lender's new investment bank.
Sources close to the matter told the paper that Prince Mohammed is mulling over an investment of around $500 million in the unit, known as Credit Suisse First Boston. The spin-off of the New York-based division comes as Credit Suisse is looking to restructure its operations and raise $4.2B in fresh stock following a series of scandals, regulatory issues, and weak financial performance.
The WSJ added that it is unclear if Prince Mohammed will make the investment through Saudi National Bank, which is already set to become the largest shareholder in Credit Suisse after the stock sale, or via a separate vehicle. Prince Mohammed is also the chairman of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, Public Investment Fund.
Riyadh's interest reportedly stems from CS First Boston's decision to tap well-known dealmaker Michael Klein as CEO-designate, the WSJ said. Klein has built strong connections with the kingdom, following his involvement with major business initiatives like the initial public offering of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. in 2019.
However, no firm investment offer has been sent by any Saudi entity to Credit Suisse yet, the WSJ reported.
People close to the discussions also told the WSJ that further backing could come from various U.S. investors, including high-profile banker Bob Diamond's Atlas Merchant Capital. It has previously said that it has secured a commitment of $500M from an unidentified investor.
Credit Suisse chairman Axel Lehmann said last week that it will take around two years for CS First Boston to become fully independent, with analysts predicting that the process will be drawn-out and complex.

"Gangsta" Rap, CIA & Mossad
This text was originally derived from sections of the article, "Straight Outta Compton, Did The CIA Infiltrate Rap Music?", posted on Newspunch.com.

1986 had been the Year of Crack. Newsweek called crack a "national scandal". In October 1986, the LA Times carried a story about Chief Darrell Gates and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) "quietly disbanding" its thirty-two-member anti-crack force in South Central Los Angeles. Reverend Charles Mims, a South Central minister said, "It seems illogical to move this task force from what most everybody grants is the most active rock cocaine area on earth." By a conservative estimate, crack cocaine was at least a $10 million a month industry in Compton & South Central that was deliberately allowed to happen.
The first to popularize "Gangsta" Rap was group, N.W.A., which came onto the scene in 1986. Their music was perfectly suited to stigmatize & demonize Black youth of the inner city as virtual savages. Gangsta Rap has it all; inhumane unmitigated hatred & violence, criminality, inherited evil & wickedness, demonic possession, spiritual warfare and threats against public order & peace.
"The evil in my blood is possessed. So I creep low from the back slow and puts lead in that niXXa's flesh. Ain't no hope, every niXXa wants to be the nine milla on the trigga. The black niXXa killa!" -Eazy-E (N.W.A.)
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan authorized CIA covert military action against the democratically elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The CIA hired Nicaraguan Colonel, Enrique Bermudez, to mobilize an illegal insurgency. Bermudez founded the Fuerza Democratica Nicaraguense (FDN). The FDN was the largest, the most well-armed and best-trained of the Contras. To help fund the insurgency, the Contras turned to trafficking Colombian Cocaine in the United States with the collaboration of the National Security Council (NSC) and the CIA.
In August 1995, the San Jose Mercury News published Gary Webb's devastating revelations of how the CIA allowed the Nicaraguan Contras to fund their insurgency war against the Sandinista government by selling millions of dollars worth of Columbian cocaine, which primarily targeted inner-city Blacks. Their collaborators within the inner-city were the Crips & Bloods of Compton & South Central Los Angeles.
The CIA shielded Contra cocaine gang suppliers like Nicaraguan Oscar Delano Blandon from investigation for drug trafficking. Blandon was a co-founder of the FND. As result of their bargain with the Crips & Bloods, they made millions, not only for themselves and Contra's unlawful insurgency war in Nicaragua, but for the CIA and & Israeli Mossad.
The men behind N.W.A.'s record company, Ruthless Records, were Eazy-E & Jerry Heller (Jew) and Michael Klein (Jew). Heller was the co-founder of N.W.A., and CEO of Ruthless Records. The Jewish Defense League (JDL) was on the payroll at Ruthless Records. It is interesting that Heller & Klein called in the JDL, instead of the police, when they claimed to be under threat from Suge Knight, of Death Row Records, and the Piru Bloods (gang) when Dr. Dre (N.W.A.) wanted to leave Ruthless Records.

Their source for the numbers of mass shootings isGun Violence Archive.
I originally thought they were getting the numbers from their 'archives'.
But no, the numbers come from a "non-profit" organization led byMichael Klein
Michael Klein has many 'interesting' connections, one of which is 'The American Himalayan Foundation", which was founded by Richard Blum, Mr. Diane Feinstein.

Lucid Motors to go public in SPAC deal
Electric-vehicle maker Lucid Motors has agreed to go public by merging with a blank-check company backed by former Citigroup executive Michael Klein.
The deal with Churchill Capital Corp. IV is worth $11.75 billion and comes after stock-market investors pushed up the SPAC's shares last month amid speculation Churchill was targeting Lucid for a merger.
Lucid will net some $4.4 billion in cash from the transaction; the deal includes $2.1 billion from the blank-check company and a $2.5 billion PIPE investment-the largest of its kind in a SPAC deal-the companies said.
The PIPE would give the combined company an implied value of $24 billion.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, BlackRock, Fidelity Management & Research, Franklin Templeton, Neuberger Berman, Wellington Management and Winslow Capital Management funded the PIPE.
The Saudi fund invested over $1 billion in Lucid in 2019. Before that, the EV maker received funding from investors including China's state-owned holding company BAIC Motor and Tsing Capital.

1986 had been the Year of Crack. Newsweek called crack a "national scandal". In October 1986, the LA Times carried a story about Chief Darrell Gates and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) "quietly disbanding" its thirty-two-member anti-crack force in South Central Los Angeles. Reverend Charles Mims, a South Central minister said, "It seems illogical to move this task force from what most everybody grants is the most active rock cocaine area on earth." By a conservative estimate, crack cocaine was at least a $10 million a month industry in Compton & South Central that was deliberately allowed to happen.
The first to popularize "Gangsta" Rap was group, N.W.A., which came onto the scene in 1986. Their music was perfectly suited to stigmatize & demonize Black youth of the inner city as virtual savages. Gangsta Rap has it all; inhumane unmitigated hatred & violence, criminality, inherited evil & wickedness, demonic possession, spiritual warfare and threats against public order & peace.
"The evil in my blood is possessed. So I creep low from the back slow and puts lead in that niXXa's flesh. Ain't no hope, every niXXa wants to be the nine milla on the trigga. The black niXXa killa!" -Eazy-E (N.W.A.)
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan authorized CIA covert military action against the democratically elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The CIA hired Nicaraguan Colonel, Enrique Bermudez, to mobilize an illegal insurgency. Bermudez founded the Fuerza Democratica Nicaraguense (FDN). The FDN was the largest, the most well-armed and best-trained of the Contras. To help fund the insurgency, the Contras turned to trafficking Colombian Cocaine in the United States with the collaboration of the National Security Council (NSC) and the CIA.
In August 1995, the San Jose Mercury News published Gary Webb's devastating revelations of how the CIA allowed the Nicaraguan Contras to fund their insurgency war against the Sandinista government by selling millions of dollars worth of Columbian cocaine, which primarily targeted inner-city Blacks. Their collaborators within the inner-city were the Crips & Bloods of Compton & South Central Los Angeles.
The CIA shielded Contra cocaine gang suppliers like Nicaraguan Oscar Delano Blandon from investigation for drug trafficking. Blandon was a co-founder of the FND. As result of their bargain with the Crips & Bloods, they made millions, not only for themselves and Contra's unlawful insurgency war in Nicaragua, but for the CIA and & Israeli Mossad.
The men behind N.W.A.'s record company, Ruthless Records, were Eazy-E & Jerry Heller (Jew) and Michael Klein (Jew). Heller was the co-founder of N.W.A., and CEO of Ruthless Records. The Jewish Defense League (JDL) was on the payroll at Ruthless Records. It is interesting that Heller & Klein called in the JDL, instead of the police, when they claimed to be under threat from Suge Knight, of Death Row Records, and the Piru Bloods (gang) when Dr. Dre (N.W.A.) wanted to leave Ruthless Records.

Ken Moelis-backed blank-check company seeks $500 million in U.S. IPO
A blank-check company led by investment banker Ken Moelis is aiming to raise $500 million in a U.S. initial public offering, the firm said on Friday. The company, Atlas Crest Investment Corp, is looking to offer 50 million units at $10 apiece, according to a filing here. Moelis, the chairman of Atlas Crest, founded investment firm Moelis & Co MC.N in 2007, since when it has advised on about $3.5 trillion of M&A transactions. He has also served as president of UBS Investment Bank. A special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, is a shell vehicle that raises money in an IPO to buy and then merge with another company, typically within two years. High-profile investors such as Bill Ackman and Michael Klein have raised billions through their SPACs this year. Cantor is the sole book-running manager for Atlas Crest's offering.

Former Uber executive-led blank-check company seeks $250 million in IPO
A blank check-company helmed by former Uber Technologies Inc's UBER.N executive Emil Michael is looking to raise $250 million in an initial public offering, the company said on Friday. DPCM Capital Inc aims to sell 25 million units at a price of $10 each and has applied to list its units on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "XPOA.U", it said in a filing here. Michael, who served as the chief business officer of the ride-hailing provider for over three years until 2017, had spearheaded the firm's expansion in China and Russia. The blank-check company also counts former Alphabet Inc's GOOGL.O Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt among its special advisors.A special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, is a shell vehicle that raises money in an IPO to buy and then merge with an unknown company. DPCM has become the latest SPAC to file for an IPO, joining the likes of high-profile investors such as Bill Ackman and Michael Klein, who have raised billions through their SPACs this year. On Thursday, a SPAC led by billionaire Charles Ergen, said it was aiming to raise around $1 billion in an IPO. UBS Investment Bank is the underwriter to DPCM's offering.

Paul Ryan-backed blank-check company files for $300 million IPO
A blank-check company backed by former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Monday it plans to raise $300 million in an initial public offering, joining the recent frenzy of Wall Street deal-making with SPACs. Executive Network Partnering Corp (ENPC) said in a regulatory filing it is aiming to sell 12 million CAPS, or 'capital which aligns and partners with a sponsor', on the New York Stock Exchange at a maximum price of $25 per CAPS.
Each CAPS represents one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of a redeemable warrant, according to ENPC's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Ryan will be appointed chairman of the company's board, ENPC said. ENPC's CAPS will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange after the IPO.
Ryan is the latest among a number of high-profile public figures and investors to join the rush for blank-check firms that has gripped U.S. capital markets in the recent weeks and months.
A number of big-name financiers and investors such as Bill Ackman, Michael Klein and Chamath Palihapitiya have raised billions of dollars for these shell firms through IPOs, with the aim of then combining with real companies in the next couple of years.
A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a shell company that raises money through an IPO to buy an operating company, usually within two years.
However, according to ENPC's filing, its structure is slightly differently from a typical SPAC, as CAPS minimize dilution and create "a process which is comparable to a traditional initial public offering".

Bank of America bought by Berkshire Hathaway: $813.32m-July 20,21,22
from yesterday
Warren Buffett's dealmaker closed the biggest 'blank-check' takeover ever this month. Here's why he may owe the Berkshire Hathaway chief for the deal.
Michael Klein, a former Citi banker, closed the $11 billion acquisition of US healthcare group MultiPlan by his Churchill Capital III investment vehicle earlier this month. Churchill Capital III is one of Klein's four SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition vehicles, which are designed to take companies public by acquiring or merging with them. Klein advised Berkshire when it looked at acquiring MultiPlan in 2013, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. The deal didn't happen, but Klein became familiar with both the company and CEO Matt Tabak during that period, the newspaper said. Klein has worked with Buffett on several deals over the years. He persuaded the famed investor to buy $3 billion worth of Dow Chemical's preferred stock as part of the chemicals giant's $15 billion takeover of rival Rohm & Haas in 2009, according to Institutional Investor.

Oxy's Sweetener a Bitter Pill for Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett's $10 billion preferred-share deal with Occidental Petroleum last year was like "taking candy from a baby," fumed shareholder Carl Icahn. That figurative baby whose new board now includes Mr. Icahn's deputies has found a way to snatch some of that candy back. The company announced in late June that it plans to hand out warrants: Specifically, it offered shareholders of record as of July 6 the ability to buy an eighth of a share for each one they own at $22 for the next seven years. The warrants can be sold for cash starting next month.
They serve a couple of functions. One is a consolation prize for existing shareholders now getting a symbolic dividend of just a penny a share. Some are suing Occidental for its ill-fated decision to buy Anadarko Petroleum. In addition to all the debt it had to take on for the purchase Occidental has some $40 billion of it the pandemic-induced oil market disruption has crushed its share price. The warrants also would eventually bring in over $2 billion in cash if exercised. Mr. Icahn's fingerprints are on the move to issue the warrants. In a statement relating to their issuance, he said he is pleased that the new chairman, along with his "three director representatives," have helped create "a more stockholder friendly board." But the warrants are also a quiet snub to Mr. Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway helped fund Occidental's gigantic acquisition with preferred shares not eligible to receive warrants. Occidental needed the $10 billion in cash to prevail over Chevron while avoiding a shareholder vote on ironically issuing new shares.

What city was Epstein arrested in? NYC?
vv No. Teterboro, Nj. Teterboro Airport, specifically.
Qpost # 3417—34 & 17 HQ?
The gulf between those who would see Teterboro closed and those who cannot imagine such a thing is fitting for an airport seemingly made of contradictions. It is a centerpiece of aviation history that is virtually unknown outside select circles, a gateway for the rich and famous that is surrounded by wetlands.
"We cater to a very discerning clientele," Mr. Stephen said.
The airport fiercely guards the privacy of its customers. Discretion is one of the reasons many choose Teterboro, Mr. Stephen said. Celebrities and business executives can slip undisturbed from the plane to the private terminal to a black car bound for the city.
Mr. Furst said airport workers were trained to give passengers a wide berth. Most are so accustomed to seeing famous faces that they hardly blink. (Mr. Furst conceded that he had once said hello to Bill Gates.)
Many of the restaurants that provide passenger meals are not even told who they are for, said Susanna Bazzarelli, co-manager of the nearby Italian restaurant Bazzarelli. Still, clues slip through.
An order once arrived for a "high-profile" customer who asked for several servings of kid-friendly foods such as pizza and pasta. Ms. Bazzarelli recalled thinking: "Oh, my God, like, it's got to be Angelina Jolie." (She later found out she was right.)
Teterboro is also an important gateway for organ transplants and other medical services, said Michael Klein, chief executive of OpenAir, a charter company that operates out of Teterboro. Airlifting a kidney or a heart needs to be done on short notice - a difficult task at commercial hubs, where takeoffs and landings must be scheduled days in advance, Mr. Klein said.
"We'll get a call in the middle of the night," he said. "Typically within an hour we'll be in the air. Someone needs a liver, someone else dies and wants to donate a liver - that all comes together very quickly."

One thing you may not see much of is the Arabs/Chinese rushing to bail these places out-they got burned pretty good in 2007-08 so if they do it would be to defend positions they already have-see below
Credit Suisse Mulls Outside Investor for Investment Bank Spinoff
Credit Suisse Group AG is trying to bring in an outside investor to inject money into a spinoff of its advisory and investment banking businesses, as the firm's leaders aim to put the finishing touches on their planned overhaul.
Businesses being targeted for a boutique-style future include the advisory and dealmaking teams alongside the leveraged finance unit, people with knowledge of the deliberations said. The bank is interested in an outside investor to take a partial stake in order to provide capital and help fund the costs of hiring and keeping talent, the people said. Talks on reviving the First Boston name for the spun-out businesses, which would get most of their revenue from the US, are also advancing, the people said, asking not to be named. The bank is also considering other options and deliberations are still ongoing.
Credit Suisse's investment bank sits at the heart of Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Koerner's planned restructuring after it racked up huge losses and played a frontline role in some of its biggest scandals. The bank is trying to reduce risks and costs associated with the business, while keeping at least some of the revenues and capabilities to service wealth management clients. A spinout of the dealmaking and underwriting unit would effectively break the troubled division into three pieces, with Credit Suisse keeping a shrunken trading unit while hiving off its securitized products group and other assets it wants to offload. (good luck with that) And attracting outside investors would help answer how it will finance a major restructuring, questions that have weighed on the stock as the firm wants to avoid a share sale with the price near record lows. The appeal of the spun-out unit would be a stake in a franchise with a long history of advising on major mergers and stock offerings. Michael Klein, a US dealmaker who also sits on the board of directors of Credit Suisse, has been heavily involved in pushing for the revival of the First Boston brand, the people said. (Remember CDS Queen Blythe Masters is also on the BoD at Credit Suisse)
Still, the bank would be seeking to sell potential investors on a leveraged finance business that has been hit with losses amid turbulent markets and a dealmaking unit that has seen dozens of top performers depart. It's unclear if the bank has had substantive talks with potential investors and the spinout plans aren't set in stone, the people said. In the past, the Swiss firm has often turned to investors from the Middle East, with Qatar Investment Authority investing during the financial crisis and buying convertible bonds the firm issued last year. A prominent external investor could help finance the hiring of expensive talent and retention bonuses to existing staff, while also potentially enticing lost dealmakers to come back, the people said. Credit Suisse has struggled to stem an exodus in its investment banking division that worsened after the multi-billion dollar collapse of prime brokerage client Archegos Capital Management (also enmeshed in Greensill heavily too). Over the past two years, more than 60 senior dealmakers have left. Most recently, Credit Suisse lost its Europe-based global banking co-head and its deputy head of M&A for Asia Pacific. The bank has handed out at least $1.3 billion in retention packages and one-time awards to stem defections in the past 20 months and managed to rehire several executives, including Spyros Svoronos as head of global industrials and healthcare mergers and acquisitions banker Nikhil Goel.
The Swiss government, meanwhile, has been working on a new law since March that would provide a public liquidity backstop for systemically-relevant banks. Even though the new law would not be passed until next year, officials could move to help Credit Suisse should it need liquidity, Neue Zuercher Zeitung reported.

'''I recall a particularly shitty deal (for them-and I can't remember if it was the Qataris or UAE and it may have even been the Chinese in 2007) when Morgan Stanley looked to be bailed out (they also were the largest borrower from the Federal Reserve at $107B during 2008) they needed a cash injection and the deal was put on the table and the 'money' were given a choice "we can lock in the deal price before or after we announce a multiple billion $ loss" and of course they said after so what did the market makers do to the stock after announcing the loss?-jam it up about 12 points making it moar expensive for them by the time the deal was closed-they got money from the Chinese $5B in 2007, Japanese (Mitsui) something like $8B and then converted to a Bank Holding Co. so they could tap the FRB bailout programs-they are still and were in the worst shape of all of them at the time but you rarely hear anything about it-they were being pressured to sell to JP Morgan for $1/sh by the various ijits (Geithner, Bernancke, Paulson)
So whatever they do here (Credit Suisse) they will need to place it somewhere bigger than they are and there aren't too many candidates for that since I can't imagine anyone wanting to "take-over" almost $18B in derivative exposure that has already (essentially) blow'd up
Re: First Boston
Credit Suisse acquired a 44% stake in First Boston in 1988. The investment bank acquired its shares held by the public and the company was taken private. In 1989, the junk bond market collapsed, leaving First Boston unable to redeem hundreds of millions it had lent for the leveraged buyout of Ohio Mattress Company, maker of Sealy mattresses, a deal that became known as "the burning bed". Credit Suisse bailed them out and acquired a controlling stake in 1990. Although such an arrangement was arguably illegal under the Glass Steagall Act, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. bank regulator, concluded that the integrity of the financial markets was better served by avoiding the bankruptcy of a significant investment bank like First Boston even though it meant a de facto merger of a commercial bank with an investment bank.
