Distressing options--treed by his own misery and losses, or by his intentionally fleeced clientele? Yikes!

Good
Something I'm sure the broker is very relieved about... You'll find a lot of them sleeping in their cars all around the country. Real estate brokers, too. They are (mostly) not the cause of this mess. Though the ones that illegally sold crappy paper to small governments around the world may deserve to stay in the tree, most of the stockbrokers never touch this stuff. When they do, it's the AAA-rated, insured variety.
Still, it's a good write.

Have you checked out the insurers and raters?
Just another bunch of wozzy wizards.
They're failing too.

That's cold! But, if you give them enough rope...

Yup!

Ah, a gold mine of deep thought... you are actually writing about withdrawing all your holdings from one broker's oversight and transferring it to another.
Right? 
lol
Gentle person that you are, I am confident you would not do mayhem to the treed personage.

An interesting take...
An interesting take; I'd be tempted to replace "sad" with "glad"; best wishes in the contest. --Joe
