Insurance and loans giant Conseco has filed the third biggest US bankruptcy after WorldCom and Enron, with $6.5bn (Ј4bn) in outstanding debts. The company, which was founded by encyclopaedia salesman Stephen C Hilbert, had already defaulted on bank and bond debts and had been expected to go bust. Conseco warned last month it might file for bankruptcy protection after reporting a quarterly loss of $1.77bn. Insurance subsidiaries were excluded from the filing and would continue to honour policies. The holding company was de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange in the summer and faces an investigation by stock market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
