Until now, bankruptcy has played a second tier role in reform efforts, even though bankruptcy law does for industrial firms much of what regulators want for financial firms. By restructuring a failed industrial firm s debts, saving its profitable businesses, and selling its loss making ones, bankruptcy can minimize a failed firm s knock on costs for its creditors and the economy as a whole.

In the US, the usual bankruptcy rules allow regulators and courts to hold a bankrupt company s operations together long enough to determine if the firm is worth more dead than alive. The law stops creditors from grabbing assets after the company enters bankruptcy, and it recalls many payments made to favored creditors in the 90 days before bankruptcy was declared, so that all creditors facilitate the firm s survival.
