...aftermath of the bankruptcy filing soon led to finger pointing. Holders of Orange County municipal bonds sued county officials as well as Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney, claiming the firms had concealed "reckless investment practices." Not to be outdone, the county sued Nomura Securities for ignoring the bankruptcy filing and selling $900 million of bonds that it held as collateral; county officials indicated that they would sue other firms that had dumped bonds as well.
