It happens on March 19, 2023: after a historic bank run, Credit Suisse, a symbol of stability and security, collapses. GAME OVER: The Fall of Credit Suisse tells the story of how the executives of this bank lived a corporate culture of self-profit for decades, greedy and risky – until the bubble bursts and Credit Suisse is taken over by its fiercest competitor, UBS, in an unprecedented night-and-mist operation.
Based on extensive research by Arthur Rutishauser, investigative journalist and editor-in-chief of the «SonntagsZeitung», Swiss director Simon Helbling sheds light on the events that led to the downfall of the world-famous Credit Suisse two years ago. In detail he shows the failures, power games and scandals that brought down the former financial empire. A shocking chronicle of a historic bankruptcy and a devastating analysis of the CS management team, which collected huge bonuses in every financial situation.
Followed by a discussion with Arthur Ruthishauser (Editor-in-Chief of SonntagsZeitung), Nina Reiser (Professor of Financial Market Law at the University of St. Gallen), and Martin Nerlinger (Assistant Professor at the School of Finance at the University of St. Gallen).
