Lots and lots of coverage of the Lehmans shambles this week:
- Lehman bosses severely criticised - BBC
- Lehman bosses ‘used lazy gimmick’ - The Times
- Lehman 'hid billions' – report - The Independent
- JPMorgan, Citigroup helped trigger Lehman collapse,
report argues - The Telegraph - Lehman report casts auditors in poor light - Financial Times
- London at centre of Lehman Brothers 'accounting
gimmick' - The Telegraph - Fraud charges loom for Lehman Bros - The Independent
- Lehman report raises derivatives clearing fears - Financial Times
- Lehman Brothers 'sacked whistleblower after he raised
concerns with auditors' - The Telegraph - Diamond's shining moment amid the crisis - Financial Times
- The lives of the Lehman ladies - The Times
- Further Lehmans revelations blocked by Barclays - The Times
- Lessons from the collapse of Bear Stearns - Financial Times
You can read the whole 2,300+ page report if you want, minus a few reducted pieces and the Barclays bits of course.
