Former Credit Suisse broker Julian Tzolov, under investigation for being a sheep and pushing auction rate securities, is thought to have fled to his native Bulgaria. (Suicide has been ruled out, faking one's own death apparently only be de rigeur among the hedge fund set.) Tzolov resigned from the firm on September 7, 2007, so he's presumably been planning the trip for a while. That, or he's not in Bulgaria at all, and has simply been waiting for his god damn ShroomBurger.
The Journal noted that Credit Suisse itself is not a target of the probe, Tzolov apparently evidently being a go-getter who probably would've been more suited to certain other Swiss banks.

Layoffs Watch '12: Credit Suisse

Cuts are going down at the House of Dougan today. From the front lines: "Layoffs started at Credit Suisse this morning, across the investment bank. All levels affected, including a good amount of senior guys." Apparently these reductions are part of a round cuts announced last year and were to be expected (though the "let's have a chat" from HR this morning may still have been a slight surprise for those being asked to take a seat).
