Maruishi goes bust

In News

Troubled bicycle builder Maruishi Cycle Industries Ltd. of Tokyo - said by some to be the Enron of the bike trade - appears to have ceased trading. Some of the firm's existing and former executives have been helping police with their enquiries following allegations of stock-market price fixing.

Japan's Kyodo news agency reports that Maruishi has effectively gone bankrupt as banks have suspended transactions with the firm on its second failure to honour a bill.

The bicycle maker has liabilities totalling some 2.9 billion yen, said Teikoku Databank Ltd., a Japanese credit reference agency.
