U.S. Helps Lehman Go Up for Sale
Regulators Are Seeking a Weekend Deal Not Involving Public Money

The Federal Reserve and Treasury Department are actively helping Lehman Brothers put itself up for sale, and officials are hoping a deal will be in place this weekend before the Asian markets open on Monday, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The government is looking for an agreement that would not involve public money. One scenario that is emerging includes multiple suitors acquiring different pieces of the venerable investment bank, which has suffered staggering losses from its bets on real estate and mortgages.

The situation was still fluid yesterday, and there was no guarantee what form an agreement would take or even that it would be in place by Monday, the sources said on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to speak.

Regulators have been in touch with Lehman on an almost hourly basis in recent days. High-ranking officials including New York Federal Reserve President Timothy F. Geithner, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke have been discussing a broad range of possibilities for Lehman, trying to determine the risks each outcome could pose to the financial system, the sources said.

Ode to an Investment Bank

The Feds need a bank to buy Lehman,
Which stinks like some dog poo that's steamin'
They can't bail 'em out,
And if you have any doubt
That the economy's fucked then you're dreamin'

This is exciting to watch....

Disgusting is more like it. I'll bet the CEO of Lehman is so excited that he is about ready to crap his pants. Just think, by this time next week we will be reading about another multi-million dollar severance package given to a poor performing CEO.
Our young people have got to be wondering what the hell is going on (I hope), let alone the rest of us.

Even though Goldman says they don't want it, I bet Lehman goes to Goldman with some help from Uncle Ben.

Stop the NWO....It's just illumi..Naughty !

Weird

Since Lehman Brothers own part of the Federal Reserve, or is that the whole point?

NOTE: several suitors.

Thus, you must follow which gets the FED shares. They can disperse the rst of the BS. The CEOs can get mad loot. The FED gets a new host to continue its parasitic ways.

None of the

traditional Rothschild-based entities that founded the Fed will be allowed to die. They will be saved in one way or other, and the taxpayers will foot the bill. The top-level principals will not lose money. They will be saved, but the average Joe that's involved will take a bath.

now do you believe wantagate?
