VIDEO: Lehman Bothers employees saving stuff from chapter 11
Lehman Brothers, after failing to find a buyer in either Barclays or Bank of America, seems to be heading toward a fate where it would file for bankruptcy sometime tonight
Lehman filing for bankruptcy liquidation, which is expected ON MONDAY, is the first winding-down of a Wall Street firm since the bankruptcy of junk bond firm Drexel Burnham and Lambert in 1990.
VIDEO : Greenspan, Lehman Should be Resolved Without Aid
U.S. stock will continue to tumble on monday on concern a potential Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. bankruptcy will add to banks' $514 billion of subprime-related losses.
With Barclays and BofA dropping out, Lehman's survival options begin to dwindle. The Lehman executive, who declined to be identified, said "this looks like the end."
Separately, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association staged a special trading session so that big brokers could limit their Lehman Brothers risks.
The session was called "to reduce risk associated with a potential Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. bankruptcy," according to a statement on the ISDA's Web site
Lehman would need the Barkley's deal to achieve a so called "Bad Bank" status by US regulators and finacial back up of acquisiton. The Bank of America is not interested without government support . Trader comment: if they go into liquidation," it is going to be a bad situation on Monday.
The fate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s darkened early Sunday afternoon after Barclays PLC, the sole remaining bidder for the 158-year-old Wall Street firm, told federal regulators that it is walking away from a transaction, people familiar with the matter say. With Barclays ending talks and the government balking at putting any taxpayer money at risk for Lehman, the likelihood of a transaction was dimming. That would leave an orderly liquidation as the most likely scenario, a dramatic outcome for a once-powerful firm.
A plan to split Lehman Brothers into "good" and "bad" banks began to take shape, but regulators failed to reach a deal by the end of the day. Lehman as one bank will not exist any more. Lehman's uglier-looking holdings would be splitted into a "bad" bank containing about $85 billion in assets. Other Wall street banks would have to inject the same amount to make the deal real.
At hedge funds, analysts worried that investors would rush to withdraw their money. As a precaution, Wall Street banks have taken the extraordinary step of hiring advisers to assess the impact of the possible bankruptcies of other big financial institutions.The mood could darken even further this week as several big Wall Street banks report what are expected to be grim quarterly results

Liquidation or bad bank deal
Lehman has hired law firm Weil, Gotschal & Manges LLP to prepare a potential bankruptcy filing.I f Lehman entered into bankruptcy protection, the brokerage units would enter Chapter 7 liquidation and the court-appointed trustee would liquidate the firm's assets and give customers back their money.

Germany called on U.S. authorities Saturday to find a solution for crisis-hit bank Lehman Brothers before Asian markets reopen for trading early Monday. Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck -- who manages the EU's largest economy -- told reporters that "the news that is coming out of the U.S. is bad," confirming that financial markets are still suffering sharply from a credit crisis that started last year.U.S. officials have so far talked down a government rescue for the country's fourth-largest investment bank
EU finance ministers NICE
"We expect that a solution will be put forward before Asian markets open on Monday," Steinbrueck said on the sidelines of an EU finance ministers' meeting in Nice.

Jordan thanks for Flag "Lehman brothers chapter 11". The meeting of the European finance ministers, headed by Germany to force US government to security measures for banks exposed to transatlantic business, means registered at Wall street could mean for a european bank to collapse in Europe ( has to report dept). With respect to a possible solution, I did not write about Lehman brothers, but it was the hot Topic of german minister Steinbruck; US must find solution or EU must create defense mechanism.

Emilio thanks for Flag "Lehman chapter 11". Insiders from Monaco banking say more trouble to come for Christmas, bank market consolidation worldwide. I will in any case continue to grow my tomatoes at the window for food supply. What will come next? Banks don't accept the Fancy bank guarantees any more. With this papers they "paid". Barkley was the first to see, could not secure bid on Lehman; to my opinion they are themselves close to CH11.

At the moment of this comment, this story - about the the impending worthlessness of Lehman Stock shares - is the number two story on the front page. The number three story is "Soft on the Butt: 3-Ply Toilet Paper Debuting Monday."
I want to know just one thing - is there a connection?
