Lots of high profile bankruptcies in 2009 and we're only at the halfway point...
I wrote and designed a few tombstones for our fallen corporations. Here are The Reformed Broker's Bankruptcy 2009 Epitaphs:

Rest In Peace
Too Bad Nobody
Would Buy Your Fleece

To Mourn
At This Grave

Yours Were Sh#tty
