Swiss Bank took $5B loss

Credit Suisse publishes a damning report on risk management failures.
The Swiss bank failed to act on warning signs that its exposure to
Archegos, a family office that blew up in March, had breached internal
exposure limits. The 165-page report, published today alongside
downbeat quarterly earnings, details how the bank ended up losing more
than $5 billion on Archegos trades. It said it would punish those
responsible by docking their pay.
