Kaufman calls for a "a thorough investigation, both civil and criminal, to identify every last person who had knowledge that Lehman was misleading the public about its troubled balance sheet - and that means everyone from the Lehman executives, to its board of directors, to its accounting firm, Ernst & Young. Moreover, if the foreign bank counterparties who purchased the now infamous "Repo 105s" were complicit in the scheme, they should be held accountable as well."

Funny the (New York) Fed is not mentioned...

Re: Economy and Finance (none / 0)

Noting how the Catholic church seems to pass off the repeated manifestations of priestly kiddy-fiddling as "a couple of bad apples, nothing institutional whatsoever, move along", I'm sure that we'll find that there were no systemic problems whatsoever, but it was just " a couple of bad apples".

Over and over again.
