Brought down by Bad Mortgage Investments, Lehman, which has twenty five zero employees, will be liquidated. The federal government loans American International Group, AIG, $85,000,000,000. This is a different kind of market, and the Fed is asleep.

Connor, welcome to On the Brink.
Thanks, Sean. Happy to be here.
