Why Lehman Bros went bust; what it means for you

September 16, 2008

Will the whole bank be liquidated?

Unlikely, at least for now. The US Chapter 11 that deals with bankruptcy says that PwC, the administrators, can go about taking its time to find good offers and buyers for Lehman's 'least affected businesses.'

The entire exercise can take months before all of Lehman's assets are sold, given the complexities linked to the bankruptcy.
