distressed.gifAlthough distressed investing has often been the domain of private equity and turnaround firms, the financial crisis has rewritten the rules of dealmaking. The best minds in the distressed investing business sorted through the new challenges at the TMA/The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference, held in Las Vegas last month.

To help you sort through our coverage, we've assembled a synopsis of some of the best video interviews from the conference.
