The agency raised the velvet rope after a consortium of Bass backers failed to cough up the $20 million cover charge required for entry onto the Soyuz space capsule. Bass had been training in Moscow and Houston, completing maneuvers in zero gravity and learning Russian, but his backers, including a production company hoping to film a documentary of the trip, missed several payment deadlines.

Bonderman, 59, a skilled negotiator, is a Harvard law graduate. Coulter, 42, the savvy stock picker, is a Stanford M.B.A. Price, 46, who figures out how to restructure the distressed firms in which...
