You're probably thinking about Morgan Stanley, I believe 6,000+ servers 
running highly modified Redhat with AFS.  I believe there are other Wall 
Street companies using Linux as well.

I suspect that you'd be hard to find any financial institution that could 
survive if all the OSS software went poof (OSS meaning not just Linux).
