@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie The link in this thread to Dick Fuld's 2010 statement about the collapse was very defiant about the fact he claims LBHI (the parent of LBI) was "mandated" into filing. And that is the truth. No sane decision to file CH 11 would be made by a company with cash/assets bal sheet.
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie The most telling thing is while Sep 28, 2022 LBI (the subsidiary and former brokerage arm of LBHI) finished paying off its liquidation - LBHI remains in the LBHI Trust" filing with the SEC regularly and not only that, 332 Million in its 8-K from March 2023 w/o $ ongoinglitigation
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie LBHI and it's affiliates in Chapter 11 because of the parent co "mandated" by govt into filing 9.15.08 according to Fuld transcript from 2010. They gained +16M USD in Q4 from Q3 2022 and are in good financial shape to continue CH11 - that is... REORGANIZE. Keep an eye on "newco"
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie LBHI and it's "debtors" are also owed $1.954 Billion still from "Non-Controlled Affiliates" they have claims against - one of the major one's being LBH PLC in administration in the UK. A lot of cash comes from "Asia" (specifically Australia) with other's here due from Europe.
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie TL;DR - Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. - the OG parent company is in very good financial shape and amidst reclaiming/litigating a lot - billions in cash worldwide, and in ongoing litigation so that the CH11 "reorganization" is waiting on recovering all possible cap for restructure.
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie "Lehman had adequate financeable collateral. Many people, to this day, do not know that on September 12, the Friday night preceding Lehman’s bankruptcy filing, Lehman financed itself and did not need access to the Fed’s discount window." -Fuld (1/2)
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie "In addition, on that Monday, September 15, the day of the (Chapter) 7 filing, Lehman Brothers Inc., the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary, borrowed about $50 billion from the New York Fed by pledging acceptable collateral. The Fed was paid back 100 cents on the dollar." (Fuld 2/2)
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie What happened in the September 15, 2008 Bankruptcy filing of parent LBHI is also bizarre. Barclays (UK) bought various accounts/assets of "LB" but they allowed Lehman Brothers Inc. (LBI) subsidiary of the parent to retain $20B in securites assets under LBHI control? ODD.
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie The judge forced the sale to Barclays plc of London, UK because they were the only offer. VERY unusual and the deal also was for all "North American IB and capital mkt biz" yet the bottom of the article mentions international LB acquisitions were added for Barclays Plc (UK)..
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie Lehman European Group and Lehman U.S. (LBI, etc.) - parent for all is LBHI in NYC HQ
have been operating as one. $8B was trapped in Lehman U.S. after it filed CH11 automatically
due to bankruptcy re-org rules/subsidiary liquidations (LBI) via Leh Europe last Friday b4 CH11 freeze
@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie Filings for LBHI Plan Trust acting as the LBHI that files with the SEC has never missed a regular 8-K. Take a look. It'll be back. And a lot of billions are tied up and missing on the 8-K due to (noted in filings) ongoing litigation :) otcmarkets.com/stock/LEHNQ/di…
@threadreaderapp@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie Shall we continue? The US Bankruptcy Court Judge in Manhattan on Friday Sep 19, 2008 was essentially forced to approve an agreement unprecedented and possibly not entirely legal (post 9/11) because foreign-bank, HQ in London, Barclays Plc was the only viable rescue buyer in 9/08
@threadreaderapp@Ova_Wit_lol@GavinClimie The LBHI company core assets sold in less than a week. LBHI had however pre-shopped some of its assets, like Neuberger Berman Asset Management in summer 2008 for raising cash. Still acting quick on selling LBHI's CH11 assets was imperative with value crashing fast since 9/15/08
Fuck I have to due my DD today as New Years is now a global event via twitter. Just like announcing @RoyalFamily transfers of titles via tweet. @elonmusk back end "architecture" confirmed. Also @RBC and @scotiabank I sure hope you are holding those orders for shares on US OTC in
trust for my amazing teammates/allies/friends in Canada trying to legally purchase them from your rigged system. They deserve that windfall payment. Don't sacrifice them bc of me.
I'm rich enough in self discovered wisdom and that in itself is the richest reward a poor man on paper could ask for. But seeing their friends happy requires you honor those bids u passed on LBCT's (LLC's go figure) pref shares even tho we both no - no one's bidding and I know
Something about Michael Lewis and his books as well as the SBF saga being wrapped in Real Estate and the fact the real estate developer/part owner depicted in even Moneyball's film (2011) Stephen C. Schott was played by Activision Blizzard CEO @BobbyKotick ? Um what? Microsoft
is obv involved in the future of gaming/esports/and real estate... no doubt. But wow - Pretty sure Michael Lewis doesn't get enough credit for his series of books that are fiction-then non-fiction once written in hindsight. But like dude - fckin rabbit hole. Even Alameda cty..
a constrained real estate developer, Later 10-year leases signed for "O.co coliseum" - I mean naked short selling Patrick Byrne crusade/flash boys/DTC practices. This is full circle but absolutely chaotic I doubt I could ever piece out why this all took place.
