...help find a buyer for the failed Long-Term Credit Bank, Japan's government erased much of the bank's bad debts and promised to take back any that turned south through to the spring of 2003. Collins hired Masamoto Yashiro, 72, who ran Citigroup's highly successful retail operation in Tokyo, as ceo. LTCB was born again as Shinsei Bank, which was appropriate: shinsei means rebirth...
