finish bankruptcy section request

The bankruptcy section appears to conclude with sales to Barclays and Nomura; but there were undetermined further assets of guestimate $50-100 billion in partnership, other forms that were not part of the Barclays & Nomura sales and still pending, and of course, of interest to creditors. And so the section ends leaving out this concluding and final resulting bankruptcy court decision as to what happened to these substantial assets and the concluding results for creditors, etc. ... Please add this information....

US Federal Reserve Bank Refusals

A key component of the Lehman failure was the US Federal Reserve Bank refusal to lend to Lehman on emergency basis to allow it continue in business; and in some write-ups, this was due to unknown losses in Lehman many partnerships that were felt to be a black hole; And all these conclusions were conjectures with no active face time and explanations allowed by Lehman management, and so just silly jabbering esp by US Treasury, US Fed Reserve bank; and what is / was esp gauling is that only days later, the US Federal Reserve 'allowed' change in structure of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to be 'bank holding companies' to allow both, to borrow as banks more or less in unlimited amounts; and this exact request, to become a bank holding company, had been offered and made by Lehman management prior to its bankruptcy. And Lehman management plainly stated that the black hole assessment of losses in its many investing partnerships was massively overstated and that all these partnerships were substantial and in good shape. So overall Lehman was wiped out esp by this contrived massive misjudgment esp by US Treasury joined in by US Fed Res, to judge Lehman as having massive losses, which NEVER existed.

All this is PROVEN by the requested concluding section above asked to be added to the bankruptcy section, which will show that there were NO massive losses; and so the US treasury esp conclusion of such massive losses were esp the misjudgment by Hank Paulson, Secretary of US Treasury and the former ceo of Goldman Sachs and chief competitor of Lehman, that caused the Lehman wipeout. Esp note the manipulated timelines 100 % inaccurate in e.g. Paulson book about how he was hero, when his misjudgments hugely added to the 2008 crisis, esp his Lehman Bros misjudgment caused by refusal to chat with Lehman sr management, esp Richard Fuld.
