Bankruptcy's global onslaught - by Matt Mille
It's a frightening world out there: Chinese factories by the thousands lock their doors, and their owners disappear into the night. Russia's once-mighty resource giants scamper to restructure crippling debt and avoid going under. Ukraine and Latvia teeter on Iceland-like insolvency. Financial institutions just about everywhere seize up and are shut down or nationalized. On just one day late last month, a Danish bank collapsed, a Japanese finance company went bankrupt and two German states were forced to pour almost $4 billion into a crippled lender to keep it afloat.
