Reading this I was considering point #6 and shutting down the system. If the proper alerts had shown a system improperly taking on massive positions, and the related risk in dollar terms, wouldn't shutting down be a better route than bankruptcy? In retrospect, would (could?) they have chosen that?
Of course, violating those SLA's could cause bankruptcy through client dissatisfaction but that seems less certain than bleeding out money.
