After the extremely large 2007/2008 losses posted by UBS, its chairman Marcel Ospel resigned on 1 April 2008, and Mr. Blocher was rumoured to be considered as his replacement.
In 2001, he was criticized for evading requests to extend Swissair's line of credit, leading some people to believe that the dramatic grounding of Swissair planes on October 2 was Ospel's responsibility.
