Bustling during the day, it was mostly quiet this Saturday night. Clouds cloaked the moon.<\/p>\n<p>A chartered bus pulled up outside a bar, its windows aglow. A light snow was falling. Out into the peaceful evening stumbled dozens of rowdy bankers, some toting tall cans of Asahi and Kirin. Most of them were drunk. They quickly took over the small bar.<\/p>\n<p>The drinkers were employees of the American bank Citigroup, one of the world\u2019s largest and most troubled financial institutions. A year earlier, at the beginning of 2009, American taxpayers had finished pumping a staggering $45 billion into Citigroup to bail out the collapsing behemoth. Now the transfused recipient was treating dozens of its investment banking employees to a weekend getaway. The bankers were housed nearby in a sprawling luxury hotel, each employee\u2019s room designed in Japan\u2019s typical spare style.<\/p>\n<p>These festivities weren\u2019t so spartan. The point was to foster camaraderie, and that was happening in spades. The party had begun on the hundred-mile ride on the bullet train out from Tokyo. After a day of hitting the slopes, Citigroup ferried the bankers to a bowling alley, where they drank and bowled and drank some more. Their bus had then deposited the intoxicated crew at this bar, before leaving the partiers behind to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hayes: &#8220;A Lot Of What I Know Even The DOJ Is In The Dark\u201d An exclusive excerpt from the hot new financial and legal thriller\u00a0&#8220;The Spider Network&#8221;\u00a0by\u00a0David Enrich The small ski resort town, nestled in the mountains outside the city of Karuizawa, was a popular destination for day trips for Japanese families.
