[[Nosferatu]] was a Romanian [[broker/dealer]], headquartered high in the Carpathian mountains. It was an [[intermediate broker]] for [[Lehman]] brothers and [[MF Global]]. It had a long and magnificent history, first clearing Transylvanian [[Futures|futures]] for the Medicis and Rothschilds, only to meet a sticky end when [[tulip mania]] finally broke in 1637. But, miraculously, it lived on, in boxes of sacred earth, only to wreak a similar hell on undercapitalised American brokers in 2008. | [[Nosferatu]] was a Romanian [[broker/dealer]], headquartered high in the Carpathian mountains.
