A funny thing happened on the way from the podium ... At Loan Market Week's Best Trading Desk awards ceremony last Thursday somebody swiped Salomon Smith Barney's award for most improved distressed desk! No one from the firm was present to pick up the award, so it was set back down on the awards table. When last call rolled around the Tiffany crystal award was nowhere to be found. This is why we poll for the most trustworthy desk! LMW will have to conduct another poll to narrow down the list of likely suspects.
