Lehman?s failure is a story in large part of fraud. And it is fraud that begins at the absolute latest in 2001, and that is with their subprime and liars? loan operations.

Lehman was the leading purveyor of liars? loans in the world. For most of this decade, studies of liars? loans show incidence of fraud of 90%. Lehmans sold this to the world, with reps and warranties that there were no such frauds. If you want to know why we have a global crisis, in large part it is before you. But it hasn?t been discussed today, amazingly.
