scenes from a meltdown

The Gorilla Has Hired Gorillas

Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld has been strangely MIA as his bank filed for bankruptcy and employees filed in and out of the office taking everything that wasn’t nailed down. Now we learn that it’s perhaps out of fear for his own safety: “Mr. Fuld, who spent much of the weekend monitoring the Lehman talks from his office on the firm’s 31st executive floor in midtown Manhattan, has had extra security added to his detail in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the matter,” says the Journal. Oh, how the mighty have fallen and all that. [WSJ]
