...York City - based private-equity firm, just before the bottom fell out of U.S. debt and equity markets. That deal was followed by a $5 billion purchase of a 9.9% stake in Morgan Stanley, then in the early throes of the credit crisis. Morgan Stanley's share price has since fallen by more than half...

In any other country, worried customers would already be queuing to withdraw all their money. But so far Ireland has avoided a run on its banks, thanks largely to the government's decision in October to guarantee deposits in six Irish banks, as well as those in five foreign institutions, for two years. The Irish guarantee was heralded in some quarters as a model solution for restoring confidence, with several...
