Wall Street may have found its party pooper
Mark Walter is selling assets quickly to unwind a dragon’s nest of interlocking loans and resolve a Justice Department investigation.
The world of Wall Street may have found its "party pooper" in the form of Mark Walter, who has been accused of risky investment practices. Walter, once a prominent figure in the insurance industry, has turned his attention to selling assets to address a Justice Department investigation and resolve regulatory concerns.

With insurance premiums collected today and paid out years from now totaling over $90 billion, Walter's actions could potentially bring an end to the excitement on Wall Street's hottest party.
