The problems Bradford Bingley and launched April 14, 2008, when he reported that to increase resources through a capital increase, new shares, and investors, shareholders and the market that provides a strong solvency and Cash did not reassure research.

On 22 April, Mr Stephen Crawshaw said the CEO that he has seen “excellent growth” in the first quarter of 2008 and the bank was well funded.

But on May 14, B & B has announced a capital increase, to 82 pence per share to try to GBP300 million shareholders to increase prices. Mr Crawshaw excused.

This attempt to mislead the market had failed and the stock price, which stood at around 185 pence at the end of April, entered into a free fall.

On June 2 B & B a profit warning. Mr Crawshaw resigned and was replaced by Rod Kent. If B & B announced that it holds a 23% sell TNT India Bank scheduled for GBP179 million, in the way of new shares. TPG, formerly Texas Pacific Capital is a global financial institution. Another GBP258 million issue a revised version of entitlements 55P per share. The rights issue was completed by Citigroup and UBS.

On June 23 is an alternative to B & B by Clive Cowdery, who represented four of the major shareholders of B & B – Legal & General, M & G Investment Cribs, Standard Life and Insight Investment. Mr Cowdery offered to buy a stock of 72 per share. Negotiations stalled because of refusal to open B & B, and its books to Mr Cowdery. At this time, B & B considers that the proposal was attractive by TPG and Mr Cowdery described the offer as “dangerous” and criticized him for too much control to cede its resolution Investment Group.

On March TPG said in July that he should withdraw from the transaction, Moody’s reduced the credit rating of B & B from A3 to Baa1. The rating agency cited requirement B & B to provide mortgages to GBP350 million per quarter from GMAC to finance a global company by 2009 to buy.

The general reaction to such news is one of hysteria and a barrage of criticism of British institutions. B & B has admitted that the possibility of withdrawing TPG, it should have reduced their ratings. TPG is not only good to his right, but probably rightly, that B & B, serious problems, they have not been previously informed.

The quality of the loan portfolio from GMAC continues to attract strong criticism from shareholders. Moody’s also reluctant to buy B & B’s Made-to-mortgages and self certification can express, even if they have been overshadowed by the engagement of GMAC. Many independent commentators have suggested that the B & B is more than GBP400 million loss to write due to the depreciation in a final declaration of its commitment to prudent GMAC.

Secondly, the bank associated with the town of Aire Valley Master Trust, including some GBP13 billion of mortgages. B & B’s GBP11 billion of mortgage loans in the securitization program Aire Valley, the triple A rating

This, however, Moody’s downgrade of B & B’s own credit rating of the bank is not enough in high regard by interest rate swaps that gives confidence to Aire Valley.

B & B in this case in the month of the address. There are three ways – first, it would be an unknown quantity to inject additional liquidity necessary, on the other hand, it would be a mediator as a counterparty or a third appointment to be, he was a guarantor.

On July 4th B & B argues that the renewed commitment by the four most important institutions, which offer some first Clive Cowdery. This is considered to GBP400 million allowances to offer 55 pence per share.

Behind the scenes of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has worked hard to ensure that B & B has not collapsed, like Northern Rock.

The FSA on Thursday, March rescue of July, an unknown facility available to B & B. It has been described as a classic of the Bank of England rescue. The lifeboat covers the activities of the Bank of England to borrow money for small financial institutions in the 1970s.

Meanwhile, the Bank of England has influenced, some would say pressure from some of the largest British banks to ensure, in an attempt to pursue the acquisition of a capital increase by Citigroup and UBS.

In the current market price, which is considerably less than 55P, insurers will be at the end of the purchase of all new shares. Because the efforts of the Bank of England, these losses now HBOS, Lloyds TSB, Barclays, Abbey, RBS and HSBC are shared. This amount is earmarked for the purchase of some GBP230 million € or a 33% interest in B & B.

Meanwhile, B & B has shown that the issue of human costs chaotic GBP400 million, GBP54 million today. This is because the prospectus is now in its third version. Worse yet, Goldman Sachs a fee for the introduction of TPG to B & B. This despite the fact that no agreement has been made and TPG withdrew.

It now appears that B & B is sure that the time taken before the bankruptcy or public enterprises. However, what makes the subscription rights of other major British banks in a loss situation. The disaster of B & B was caused by a lack of honesty in the statements of theChief executive. After his attempts to mislead the markets were published, the stock prices plummeting.

Duplicity, or lying on the boards of banks is a very dangerous development and undesirable. Banks operate on trust, namely depositors with savings. Bank managers have always been advised to exercise caution and borrowers to ensure that their obligations. This is now exposed as a farce. Mortgage B & B self-certification to anyone who could fill a registration form, and engaged in transactions with reckless global giants such as GMAC.

The agony of the announcement of a new capital increase is regrettable, but the fact that the prospectus has been revised for two consecutive years demonstrated incompetence and inefficiency.

The only player who has emerged from this saga with his reputation intact, the Bank of England. In the wake of their disastrous management of Northern Rock, they need to regain some credibility.

This is achieved by granting new powers to the Bank of England. Instead, they have their historical and traditional role as lender of last resort again. Banks that were in need of Threadneedle Street would, fifteen years, and drinking tea with the governor. After the meeting, Ascot, Wimbledon, Eton or whatever, the banker would say that his bank was insolvent and would be forced to declare bankruptcy the next day. At that time, the governor would offer a loan, and the case was concluded with a handshake.
