The fall of Lehman

[guyNbluejeans]

Fuld is hardly alone. There are greedy CEOs all over the country that are pocketing way, waaay more money than they deserve while shafting the common folks that do the actual grunt work that created the success.

Richard Fuld is still alive ! Why ?

[kutthroat84]

he still made out with 480 million dollars within a 8 yr time span....*i didn't get a severance, i didn't sell my stocks* fucking egotistical prick.....these assholes should be paying for this bail out,the ceos the presidents and chairmen the investors. let them take the lose. that is fucking capitalism you pay the game. risk. you don't just privatize the gains,.. and then socialize the loses..what the fuck is that????

@kutthroat84 The only people who should be complaining are the public and only those without Lehman shares. Those with shares in Lehman shouldn't be complaining how greedy Fuld was you were all aware of what the bank was doing and the risk involved. Under Fuld the share price went from $4 to $84, the only reason you invested in these shares in the first place was for this reason of high return, you too are fucking greedy. Shareholders receive compensation after all other stakeholders.

hey everybody knows that LEH BRA was in a deep shit but they didnt undersand (but that was absoloutly clearly FED known what could happen at the end) But nobody wanted to stop or warn Bank about so much money moving in wrong way ,,,, Finally we are seening thats happening so there not gonna be Happy End at all,

I agree with you Ryenzro... When CEO's "blame" others, they (among many others) are also guilty of greed and incompetence.

[RYENZRO]

This statement is not bashing fuld "directly", its more so a general statement about all failing institutions today. Ever notice how corporate execs continuously blame outside factors for hardships and downfalls? You will never hear "we failed at oversight, we let things get out of control, we got in over our heads, we failed to do our jobs and subsequently we face the ultimate consequence--the demise of our once thriving corporation". Go out with some decency dammit!

So, regardless of all what is happeneing to the economy these days, still Lehman is another big issue!!
