SREN was rescued as well (by Berkshire Hathaway…).
Reinsurers are different from insurers.

  • they haven’t retail clients
  • some of their clients are bigger (including resources, knowledge, …) than themselves
  • they hold massive reserves for long-term policies (they can span over 30 years!)
  • they need very good ratings to survive (good clients of any size say “good bye” quickly if there is any doubt).

They pretty much said in their Chapter 11 filling that they were unable to secure financing from traditional channels. Bankruptcy crowdfunding will be the first ever of this kind. Unless SEC disallows it.
