He said his client was creating ''issues'' for that sale process, and the letter ''went directly to the bank's strategy regarding the existing equity finance and custody businesses''. Mr Corbett also said knowledge of the planned sale of custodian services ''went to the highest levels of the bank''. Two weeks after the letter was written, ANZ withdrew from a refinancing deal with Primebroker. With Primebroker gone, ANZ Custodian Services was sold to JPMorgan in 2009 for an undisclosed sum. As a result of Primebroker's collapse, ANZ faces two separate court claims. The liquidator BDO has lodged a statement of claim in the Federal Court alleging that ANZ sought to advance its priority against other creditors by taking a charge over Primebroker's assets.
