The Fall of Erin Callan, CFO, Lehman Brothers

[666phalanx]

Seriously this women said this in April 2008 she would have been on the job about a week, obviously she didnt buy any big stake in the company to take up this position - I would have looked more at the books of the company before taking up such an important position, Chief Financial Officer, then if everything looked ok I then put about 50% of my wealth into the business, just like any board member should do, the books would have showed that a majority of assets were CDSs, which Bear Stearns had

It wasn't Callan that was in over her head, it was Fuld

CNBC is as pathetic as Fox News. They don't know anything that's going on.

She was little more than a shill for Joe Gregory. She was brought in long after the horse had left the barn and was in way over her head. Gregory wanted someone like that, who didn't know what she was doing and was subservient to him. She was not responsible for the insane borrowing and investing that Lehman was doing.

ROT Erin girl! ROT!

You deserve nothing more ~ nothing LESS ~ LIARS are liars, & the TRUTH always prevails ~ THANKS GOD!

You lying, thieving, greedy CREEP YOU!

Go straight to JAIL & do not collect $200 on your way there ... rather, have your hair cut shortest, because you won't have access to any decent hairdresser INSIDE!

BYE, BYE LIAR ~ now go ROT!

Wow, Einhorn is just a kid. I've read about him but never seen him. His voice hasn't even broken yet.

[DrMBA28]

@JMatthewCharles haha he's about 40 here. But yeah he looks younger than that

[hkpoctb]

She's still fucking hot and still has a shitload of cash.

[jayseb666]

stupid bitch....she never knew what was going but since political correctnes rules in the USA, she could not be criticized...similar to Carly Fiorina....lost billions for HP but could not say anything about here...she walked away with nillions of course

"pretty stable until 2009" ha..ha..ha

[TwoSet]

liar.. but rich liar

[guideliens]

Callan is a liar with no credibility. She is among the idiots who is responsible for innocent people losing so much money at Lehman. She lied on all the conference calls overstating Lehman's financial results.. Should be in jail with Fuld.

[hankrearden73]

Callan wasn't a liar -- she was just in way over her head. She was a tax lawyer with no real expertise in accounting and balance sheet analysis. Lehman's president Gregory was her staunchest advocate, and insisted that she remain CFO even up until the moment when Fuld was forced to pull the trigger on BOTH their tenures.

[DiamondMasters]

@hankrearden73 Look at how her eyes blink rapidly. That is a sure give away when someone is lying.

[jas0609]

Oh well. Welcome to the unemployment line. Its you and millions of other people. Welcome to the party!!!!

[md991free]

@jas0609 She has million of dollars in the Bank, her and Dick Fuld (Gorilla) will never have to worried about money again.

They should be both jailed for the repo 105 transactions. I feel sorry for the little people at Lehman that lost their jobs because of the incompetence of the top executives. Some of these people are still out of work, lost their 401(k)s, home and life for all time. Pure misery

These executives were assholes.
