This documentary goes into how the company was run and what caused the horrific collapse that was felt around the entire United States.
The Fall of Lehman Brothers, 3.0 out of 5 based on 11 ratings
That’s true…..I think the government bailed out too many of the banks as it was…..what the banks were doing was very risky and they wouldn’t have taken on that risk if they truly thought they could go bankrupt…..they did it thinking that they had nothing to lose and now it seems like the government bailouts will never end
ilias2oo6, why dont you shut the fuck up, and stop launching such aggressive attacks on people who are merely making a statement. At least acknowledge it in a more respectful manner. Your label of Irish people is very ignorant and narrow minded. Thomasuuc, take no notice. Hes not even worth the energy!
shut the fuck up irish fuckface no ones gives a fuck about you,and lol 39billion,thats the equivalent of the economy of ireland,how can you poor faggots living in shacks even afford that?shut up please you ginger scum,fucking gypsies
No debate, Lehmans should have been rescued like EVERYONE ELSE!! And look what BofA got for taking Merril Lynch. Stock at less than 2.00 even after a bailout. All got bailouts EXCEPT Lehmans, why? Could it be Paulson wanted Lehmans to fail because of his ties to Goldman Sachs? Imagine major corporations needing to take out loans to make payroll. There is something seriously wrong with that.
Thain’s a jackass. If the GOV saved LB, anyone would thought that they will be bailed out no matter what and the risk would rise even more. Paulson did the right thing/ He’s the unsung hero of the crisis.
Processing your request, Please wait....
Dick would be a good boss…if he didn’t get blinded by greed.

Lehmans was the weakest one of the herd and got put down to smarten up the rest of them. Like they said it’s kill or be killed.

“I have never experienced that before and I am sure I will never experience that again” NO YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THAT AGAIN!!
So sad.
Maybe you should lower your corporate tax. I hear that creates a lot of revenue.
