Error regarding Lehman Brothers and Credit Agricole's roles

In this wiki article it indicates that Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers did not participate in the bailout of LTCM. The GAO report (https://www.gao.gov/archive/2000/gg00067r.pdf on "Page 2") indicates that while Bear Sterns and Credit Agricole did not participate, Lehman Brothers actually did participate to the tune of the $100 million ("Page 9"). The wiki article presently says Agricole contributed this amount. Due to the article presently *not* matching the GAO report, this needs changed.

As a followup, I am aware of the PDF which seems to indicate otherwise by David Shirreff, but Shirreff's document does not provide sources (which was presumably the GAO report anyway). I believe this was merely a transcription error. Yorn (talk)
