    ANOTHER downturn in the stock price of Credit Suisse has put Tidjane Thiam, the bank's embattled chief executive, on the defensive - again.

    Last Friday, Mr Thiam sent employees a memorandum which said that hedge funds were betting against shares of Credit Suisse - taking the view that Mr Thiam would have to raise more capital from investors. Credit Suisse officials said that the chief executive regularly sends updates to employees.
