[[Nosferatu]] was a Romanian [[broker/dealer]], headquartered high in the Carpathian mountains. | |||
He — or ''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. He — I mean ''it'' — then disappeared again, but is rumoured to have cultivated an undead army of [[Financial weapons of mass destruction|phantom ISDAs]] whom, the prophecies of the [[Good Man]] make plain, will once again rise up and lay unholy waste to the Godless capital markets of the world. | |||

Call him ''[[Phantom der Nacht]]''. | If you find a chap with [[Arthur Andersen]], [[Enron]], [[Lehman]] ''and'' [[MF Global]] on his CV, don't call him [[Lucky]].
