Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:

During the 1980s, Michael Milken - then an executive at investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc - gained notoriety for his work on Wall Street. Milken made millions of dollars for himself and his Wall Street firm by specializing in bonds issued by "fallen angels" - companies that experienced financial difficulty which caused the price of their debt, and subsequently their credit rating, to fall.
In 1989, Rudy Giuliani (then the U.S Attorney General of New York) charged Milken under the RICO Act with 98 counts of racketeering and fraud. Milken was indicted by a federal jury. After a plea bargain, he served 22 months in prison and paid over $600 million in fines and civil settlements.
(Milken usually is referred to as "Fallen icon")

Хочется, чтобы перевод давал эмоциональную окраску сродни словам: Мавроди (Fallen icon) и Ваучеры (Fallen angels), но подобрать не получается

Заранее спасибо

Калиф на час - супер! :)

Падшие ангелы - я пробовал, но образность у выражения, на мой взгляд, уж слишком человеческая.
В данном случае хочется, чтобы был оттенок неживого - рухнувших компаний/ценных бумаг (Юкос, Ваучер, Рубль в 1998)
