$400Billion Lehman Assets Sent To Israel Right Before Collapse
$400B Sent To Israel
Ahead Of Lehman BK
The Voice of the White House
10-5-8
WASHINGTON, DC -- "There is a very serious aspect to the current
economic collapse that no one wants to discuss, neither the economic
pundits, the media or the scared politicians. This concerns an aspect
of the subprime scams and, basically and stripped of euphemistic words
and propaganda phrases, is that very large amounts of money from
various banks and financial institutions and the owners and
controllers thereof were, and are being, sent outside this country to
a secure area. I am speaking most specifically of American business
frantically sending, electronically, huge amounts of money to banks in
Israel.
The three banks that are getting most of the stolen money are:
Hapoalim group, Bank Leumi group, Discount Bank group. It is not
necessary to mention that the senders are all Jewish and it should be
noted that Israeli banking concerns practice strict banking security
(see their Protection of Privacy Law, 1981 [PPL]) Under the PPL, "an
infringement of privacy is, inter alia, a violation of an obligation
to maintain secrecy regarding a person's private affairs, established
by explicit or implicit agreement." The bank's obligation of secrecy
extends not only to the details of the client's account but also to
all transactions related to the account In other words, if the US
authorities want to know about this, they can bend over while the
Israeli bankers drive them home.
And if the sticky-fingered ones decide to make a quick flight to
Israel ahead of FBI investigators, like their new accounts, they are
entirely safe. Note here that Israel does not extradite its citizens.
But it does allow prosecutions in its own courts for crimes committed
abroad. None of this information is really secret but is well-known to
investigative bodies such as the Department of State and the FBI.
Currently,U.S. law-enforcement personnel and prosecutors, who fear
that Israeli-oriented economic criminals will use the Jewish state as
a refuge.
Lehman Brothers Shipped Off $400B Just Before Bankruptcy Nice !
By Linda Sandler
September 27, 2008
Bloomberg -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s brokerage unit, in the
months before its parent filed for bankruptcy protection, lost more
than $400 billion in assets, according to the trustee overseeing
customer accounts.
Lehman's holding company filed for bankruptcy Sept. 15 claiming $639
billion in assets, using four-month-old data. The wholly owned
brokerage unit shrank to less than $100 billion in assets from $500
billion ``a few months ago,'' according to a Sept. 19 court statement
by James Giddens, the trustee overseeing the settling of Lehman
brokerage customer accounts by the Securities Investor Protection
Corp.
The loss in value was caused by ``changes in the market,'' according
to Giddens, a partner at law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed, who spoke at
a bankruptcy court hearing in Manhattan. The runoff may indicate
Lehman's customers, including many hedge funds, canceled and closed
out trades as they began to doubt the firm's ability to navigate the
credit crunch, bankruptcy analysts and lawyers said.
``There was the proverbial run on the bank'' at Lehman, said Martin
Bienenstock of the law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf, who is advising clients
including Walt Disney Co. on recovering their money from Lehman. There
was a similar capital flight from Bear Stearns earlier this year, he
said.
Most of Lehman's pre-bankruptcy assets were securities, according to
its balance sheets. Lehman said on Sept. 10 that the consolidated
gross assets of the firm stood at $600 billion and net assets at $311
billion. The difference between net and gross is the so-called matched
book, which is overnight lending or securities pledged for overnight
borrowing.
