Had a similar thing happen about 4 years ago.
Me and four other guys set up a trading company in 2000, which worked pretty well until 2008, when the credit crunch bit, and our banks and brokers all pulled the plug.
I guess we were lucky in that we shut it all down tidily, and even had a few quid left at the end, but it involved a) losing my job, where I was my own boss, b) Taking a job with one of our clients, where the boss is a difficult bugger (still there) and c) worst bit, having to move from the other side of the world to a cold, rainy England, with wife and young kids, to do it.
Could be worse, which is why I wouldn't post this as a story, but it was definitely traumatic at the time.
