Lol, disappointing when both bonds and stocks decline. Only exception that I saw was in German bunds. Pfizer and church and Dwight surprised me with positive gains also.

Best I have heard is that the main culprit was a large short position in CDX IG 9 (which is actually a long credit position, as CDS is inverse), which is an investment grade corporate debt index of CDS contracts. Essentially he got too big and moved his own market, and then things started going against him when the hedge funds got word that he was over-extended and they bought up CDS (sending spreads wider, causing the loss).
Here is one attempt at an explanation:
