Sir Fred Goodwin: Fred The Shred returned to Scotland last month after spending the summer months in a gated community near Cannes, in the South of France. The disgraced former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive came back so that his children can attend school again, and must be hoping that the fury over his pension has abated now he has handed some of it back. Goodwin, whose Edinburgh home was attacked back in March, has turned to PR experts to rebuild his reputation.

He has gone back to his retail roots as chief executive of high street chemist chain Alliance Boots, just four months after losing his job in the Lloyds takeover of HBOS. Hornby’s humility following the crisis, and his decision to not take a payoff, has helped him attract less opprobrium than GoodwinPhotograph: Rex FeaturesSir Tom McKillop: McKillop learned quite how much damage the banking crisis can do to a successful career this year. He quit the chairmanship of RBS after it lurched into nationalisation, and was then forced to step down as a non-executive director of BP in the face of a humiliating protest vote by investors. Like Goodwin, the former chief executive of AstraZeneca is also cited in a lawsuit against RBS over its 2008 rights issuePhotograph: Linda Nylind
Steve Crawshaw: Little has been heard from Crawshaw, the former chief executive of collapsed mortgage bank Bradford & Bingley. He received £1m and a doubling in his pension fund after retiring from the company in June 2008 at the age of 47 due to ill health. B&B insiders say he has not worked since, and is still recuperatingPhotograph: ReutersAdam Applegarth: Ex-Northern Rock chief executive Applegarth has been busy working on his cricket skills since quitting Northern Rock. But this hasn’t been a vintage summer for the former banker. His batting average had fallen to just 16.55 by the start of September, a sharp decline from the 38 he averaged last season. Last month, an appearance for Sunderland’s second 11 turned sour after he spotted a Mail on Sunday reporter lurking beyond the boundary ropePhotograph: Rex FeaturesPeter Cummings: The Glaswegian blamed for the bad debts that wrecked HBOS has now quit all his directorships listed at Companies House – the last of them being the board of Uberior Investments, HBOS’s private equity arm. He has kept a low profile since resigning earlier this year from HBOS, and was even rumoured to have decamped to a £4m villa on the Costa del SolPhotograph: PREric Daniels: At the time of writing, Daniels is still filling the CEO’s seat at Lloyds Banking Group despite the disastrous takeover of HBOS, which has already claimed the scalp of chairman Sir Victor Blank. But some shareholders continue to manoeuvre against the American, and the talk in the City is that he could still be forced outPhotograph: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images EuropeKen Lewis: In April, Lewis paid the price for his decision to merge Bank of America with Merrill Lynch on the day that Lehman Brothers failed – shareholders voted to strip him of his chairmanship in April. They kept him on as president and CEO, but his position looks shaky as angry shareholders continue to argue that he kept quiet about the true scale of Merrill’s looming losses until the deal was approvedPhotograph: Paul Sancya/APWinfried Bischoff: Bischoff, 68, lost his position as chairman of beleaguered US investment bank Citigroup last year. But rather than join the growing ranks of the unemployed he just crossed the Atlantic and was appointed chairman of another distressed bank – Lloyds Banking Group, despite 'institutional concern' over his role in Citigroup’s situationPhotograph: Gemma Levine/Hulton ArchiveHank Greenberg: Greenberg has just agreed to pay $15m to settle charges that he inflated AIG’s earnings, four years after he was forced out of the company where he spent 38 years. He is still running CV Starr and Company, the diversified financial services firm that encountered a messy split from AIG in 2005Photograph: Chip East/ReutersJimmy Cayne: Little has been seen of the former chief executive of Bear Stearns, which collapsed six months before Lehman Brothers. His reputation has been savaged by accounts of Bear’s last days, which detailed how the international standard bridge player had to be hauled away from the cards to discuss whether the company should go bankruptPhotograph: APDick Fuld: The ex-chief executive of Lehman Brothers returned to work in April, signing up with New York hedge fund Matrix Associates. He is said to maintain a low profile around the city and just sold his Manhattan apartment for over $25m. He also faces legal action over the collapse of Lehman, with the state of New Jersey seeking $118m damages from Fuld and several other former executivesPhotograph: Alex Wong/Getty Images North AmericaRalph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin: Former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi (centre) and Matthew Tannin are waiting for a criminal trial into their activities, which will begin in October. They have been charged with conspiracy and fraud, and are accused of lying to investors about the health of their funds, which were heavily backed by sub-prime mortgages and collapsed in June 2008. Cioffi has reportedly sold two of his three Ferraris as he downsizes his lifestylePhotograph: Louis Lanzano/APRichard Burrows: Eyebrows were raised in the City in August when Burrows was named as the new chairman of British American Tobacco, just months after resigning as governor of Bank of Ireland. Critics said the appointment gave the wrong message, given Burrows had to apologise to shareholders for the collapse in the bank’s share pricePhotograph: Niall Carson/PA Wire
