Heads Up..Senate Finance Comm Hearing at 11AM ET. Report blasts the SEC.
Edited on Tue Apr-20-10 09:18 AM by dixiegrrrrl
House Financial Services Comm. is holding a hearing on the completed Lehman Bankruptcy report.
The Hearing is on Cspan 3 at 11 AM.
edited to add: Cspan page says:
Bernanke, Geithner, ex-CEO testify on Lehman, unaware of accounting tactic.
They knew nothing, huh???

The report blasts the SEC for knowingly agreeing to remove all rules of leverage by banks, thus
leading to bank failures, Not JUST Lehman.."n point of fact, all of the firms that failed - AIG, Lehman, Bear, Fannie and Freddie - had leverage at the point of failure dramatically higher than the former limit. " (from Denninger's page)

For a quick look at some report issues, see Denninger's page, on which he has also a link to the report ( it will download the pdf file).

The persistent question remains: why has nothing been done to enforce the laws, plug the loopholes?
