Wow, that sucks GB
Hopefully GB will end up back on his feet. See below: =================================== FT.COM: Barclays PLC was close to a deal to acquire a large chunk of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s U.S. operations for just under $2 billion, according to people familiar with the situation. Barclays needs to complete the transaction quickly. Lehman’s employees and clients are likely to move on as they look for new jobs. For Barclays and its president, Robert E. Diamond Jr., the deal would fill a gap in Barclays Capital’s operations, which lack scale on Wall Street. The firm has been hiring to shore up businesses such as real estate.
Maybe he can call up goldman and tell them he changed his mind? LOL
