DENVER — The financial troubles of Centrix Financial, the indirect lender of subprime loans, culminated last week in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in a Reno, Nev. court coming less than two weeks after the once high flying firm announced its sale to an East Coast investor group, which included its CEO, Robert Sutton.
