Dominique Strauss Khan's Investment Banking Venture Just Went Bust

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former International Monetary Fund boss caught up in a string of scandals, has just seen his one-year old investment banking firm go down the drain.

Last week, Strauss-Kahn's business partner Thierry Leyne fell from a building to his death in Israel in an apparent suicide. Today, the Wall Street Journal reports that Leyne Strauss-Kahn & Partners (LSK Partners) has declared itself insolvent.

From the WSJ:

The website of LSK Partners now appears to have no detail, with a simple holding page.

Last week the firm was embroiled in another battle with Switzerland's Insch Capital Management, a hedge fund that accused LSK of taking money from its account to purchase equity in another firm, which LSK itself owned.

The firm was set up barely more than a year ago.
