The Wall Street Journal this week reported on a house in Corona, California, that was sold for 198,000 dollars by a subsidiary of Credit Suisse and which was bought for 450,000 dollars in December 2006.
Ok, they are not talking about Credit Suisse at all. They are talking about , which means a company controlled by a Credit Suisse.
Credit Suisse is the parent company, because it said "a subsidiary of Credit Suisse". That means the company referred by this article is a company controlled by Credit Suisse.
Furthermore, this company bought a house for 450,000 dollars in December 2006.
And later, they sold that house for only 198,000 dollars. That means they are losing a lot of money over the sale of this house, mainly due to the ongoing financial crisis, and the bank want to get rip of as much assets as possible, even it means they will lose money, so they can prevent more losses.

This is quote from your post:
"...A subsidiary of Credit Suisse..." this mean a company who is controlled by Credit Suisse.
They did not give us the name of this company, so I can't say much about them, but for this explanation, let's call it Company A, OK?

(We don't know the exact date when they sold this house, but we can assume they sold the house sometime after Dec 2006 and probably recently, because the financial crisis start around 2007)
