Book Synopsis The Fed and Lehman Brothers by : Laurence M. Ball
Download or read book The Fed and Lehman Brothers written by Laurence M. Ball and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed's leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. Based on a meticulous four-year study of the Lehman case, The Fed and Lehman Brothers debunks the official narrative of the crisis. It shows that in reality, the Fed could have rescued Lehman but officials chose not to because of political pressures and because they underestimated the damage that the bankruptcy would do to the economy. The compelling story of the Lehman collapse will interest anyone who cares about what caused the financial crisis, whether the leaders of the Federal Reserve have given accurate accounts of their actions, and how the Fed can prevent future financial disasters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concept of ‘naming, blaming, claiming’ in the application of arbitration for private banking dispute resolution. The author focuses on examining this issue using Hong Kong as a case in point, blending theory and empirical evidence to unveil how disputes are resolved within the banking and finance industry, which will enable them to explore possible effective and efficient mechanisms to resolve financial disputes. The book offers a comprehensive review of the laws and regulations governing the private banking industry in Hong Kong and selected jurisdictions, as well as how they are implemented. It examines the clients’ perceptions through an innovative methodology for empirical studies. Describing how clients react to the laws and regulations and the potential adverse impacts to the stability of the banking industry, the author identifies possible factors that could trigger another financial crisis. Synthesising his analysis, the author proposes newly discovered self-corrective mechanisms embedded among clients and concludes with policy recommendations. Directly relevant to banking practitioners, particularly legal and compliance departments, and senior management, the book is also written for legal professionals interested in the practices of dispute resolution in banking and finance. Additional readerships will include bank regulators, government officials, policy makers, researchers, and those involved in courses in banking and financial law, as well as Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.

Book excerpt: Lehman Brothers Richard S. Fuld, Jr. the SurvivorThe Love of Money to securities fraudFuld was born in New York City, to Jewish parents, Richard Severin Fuld, Sr. and Elizabeth Schwab.Ultra high net worth individualsUltra high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) are individuals or families who have, by one definition, at least US$30 million in investable assets, or with a disposable income of more than US$20 million. The exact dividing lines depend on how a bank wishes to segment its marketBanking and financeMost global banks, such as Credit Suisse, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and UBS, have a separate business unit with designated teams consisting of client advisors and product specialists exclusively for UHNWI. Because of their extreme high net worth and the way their assets were generated, these clients are often considered to have characteristics similar to institutional investors.RetailBrands in various sectors, such as Bentley, Maybach and Rolls-Royce in motoring, actively target UHNWI and HNWI to sell their products. Figures gathered by Rolls-Royce suggest there are 80,000 people around the world with disposable income of more than $20 million. They have, on average, eight cars and three or four homes. Three-quarters own a jet aircraft and most have a yacht.Richard Fuld, head of Lehman Brothers, faced questioning from the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) asked: "Your company is now bankrupt, our economy is in crisis, but you get to keep $480 million (£276 million). I have a very basic question for you, is this fair?" Fuld said that he had in fact taken about $300 million (£173 million) in pay and bonuses over the past eight years. Despite Fuld's defense on his high pay, Lehman Brothers executive pay was reported to have increased significantly before filing for bankruptcy. On October 17, 2008, CNBC reported that several Lehman executives, including Richard Fuld, have been subpoenaed in a case relating to securities fraud. Lehman Brothers Henry Lehman Richard S.

Book Synopsis A Colossal Failure of Common Sense by : Lawrence G. McDonald
Download or read book A Colossal Failure of Common Sense written by Lawrence G. McDonald and published by Currency. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest questions of the financial crisis has not been answered until now: What happened at Lehman Brothers and why was it allowed to fail, with aftershocks that rocked the global economy? In this news-making, often astonishing book, a former Lehman Brothers Vice President gives us the straight answers—right from the belly of the beast. In A Colossal Failure of Common Sense, Larry McDonald, a Wall Street insider, reveals, the culture and unspoken rules of the game like no book has ever done. The book is couched in the very human story of Larry McDonald’s Horatio Alger-like rise from a Massachusetts “gateway to nowhere” housing project to the New York headquarters of Lehman Brothers, home of one of the world’s toughest trading floors. We get a close-up view of the participants in the Lehman collapse, especially those who saw it coming with a helpless, angry certainty. We meet the Brahmins at the top, whose reckless, pedal-to-the-floor addiction to growth finally demolished the nation’ s oldest investment bank. The Wall Street we encounter here is a ruthless place, where brilliance, arrogance, ambition, greed, capacity for relentless toil, and other human traits combine in a potent mix that sometimes fuels prosperity but occasionally destroys it. The full significance of the dissolution of Lehman Brothers remains to be measured. But this much is certain: it was a devastating blow to America’s—and the world’s—financial system. And it need not have happened. This is the story of why it did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Riveting Tale of Lehman Brothers, Once A Titan of Wall Street Whose Dramatic Ascent and Catastrophic Collapse Played A Pivotal Role in The Global Financial Crisis. On September 15, 2008, a significant event unfolded that had far-reaching consequences. The collapse of Lehman Brothers, a renowned investment bank, marked a significant turning point in the worldwide financial crisis. The once-respected institution lost its reputation due to questionable practices and a lack of responsibility. Their business navigated the challenges of venture capital and weathered the storm of the Great Depression.Through subsequent mergers and acquisitions, Lehman Brothers emerged as one of the leading investment banks in the country. During its downfall, Lehman Brothers emerged as the nation's fourth-largest investment bank, employing approximately 25,000 individuals across the world. However, its origins trace back to a modest dry goods store established by German immigrant Henry Lehman in 1844, situated in Montgomery, Alabama. What led to the unfortunate downfall of Lehman Brothers? Could this outcome be attributed to an unchecked drive for success, an inclination towards taking excessive risks, or merely an unavoidable outcome of a flawed financial system? In this captivating story, we explore the inner workings of Lehman Brothers and its corporate culture, delving into the intricate network of relationships and decisions that led to the downfall of this once prominent investment bank. Even now and in the future, the collapse of Lehman Brothers serves as a powerful reminder that nothing is permanent. The consequences of being too big to fail are significant and long-lasting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (LBHI) on 15 September 2008, was one of the signal events of the financial crisis. The disorderly and costly nature of the LBHI bankruptcy - the largest, and still ongoing, financial bankruptcy in U.S. history - contributed to the massive financial disruption of late 2008. This book examines how the government could have structured a resolution of Lehman under the orderly liquidation authority of Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) and how the outcome could have differed from the outcome under bankruptcy. Key figures surrounding this important financial event also provide their analysis.
