Why has Credit Suisse fallen so far in 2013 league tables?

What's caused Credit Suisse to fall toward the bottom of the bulge bracket world when 2 years ago it was near the top? Have key rainmakers left the firm? Compensation/retention issues? Is there an overall company decline? Are certain groups just lagging while others remain on pace? Just didn't get the breaks this year? I've poured over information about their falling short this past year but have yet to come upon any form of explanation.

As someone considering an SA role, I am very interested in how this might effect future analysts. Is culture/comp being hurt on the inside by this slide or is this just an anomaly people are confident they'll recover from? Any insider comments would be particularly helpful.

 

Were the fees for that deal so big that even diced up between all the other BBs, they were enough to dump CS near the bottom of the list? Didn't realize it was such a major payday all around, figured JPM and MS were getting fat off of the deal but did not know it extended that far.

 

Thought he meant league tables in terms of total transaction value (note, I haven't actually looked up league tables in a while, this is just something I heard during a CS interview), so if he wasn't, my mistake.

It's the fact that VW/Voda adds a ~$150B transaction value to each BB's total except CS.
