SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said “it would be safe to assume” that the agency is looking very closely at the conduct of a number of firms during that time. She didn't name the companies. A new report by a bankruptcy examiner digging into the collapse of big investment firm Lehman Brothers in September 2008 raised “some very interesting points”........

There was a bigger mystery that pre-dates the meltdown. I don't remember the facts but it involved a demand of sorts for payments which drained a lot of US monies. This occured in Mid 2008 in the late night and caused panic for govt officials. Many here thought it was aimed the Bush Adm by the Dems or overseas interests to help make the Repulicans look bad.

Does any Freeper remember this event and what financial situation occured..?

I want to know who withdrew 500 billion from money market accounts on Sept 18, 2008 at 11 AM. This run is what kicked off TARP.

Can you say Soros?

This was the October surprise that put the Kenyan Impostor in office.
