blowup

A blowup of the film found inside the coin arrived at the desk of Robert Lamphere, an FBI counterintelligence agent in Washington, D.C.

A string of alleged frauds by corporate borrowers is spurring a reckoning across Wall Street, sending bankers and investors scrambling to prevent future blowups.

The blowups triggered new scrutiny of consumer credit and lenders, including those exposed to the estimated $3 trillion private-credit business, a catchall for financing that occurs outside of the traditional banking system.

Some strategists worry investors could be dangerously underpricing the potential for more blowups.
