A shocking series of events that forever changed the financial markets
Sunday - Trouble Brews
News that Lehman Brothers was on the brink of collapse and scrambling for a buyer first surfaced on Friday. But by Sunday, there were still no suitors for the 158-year-old investment bank, and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. Indeed, just after midnight, in Monday’s early hours, the firm officially announced its intention to file for Chapter 11.
Equally as staggering, just hours after reports surfaced that Bank of America broke off talks to buy Lehman, BofA unleashed the news that it would pay $50 billion to scoop up Merrill Lynch, another iconic Wall Street name.
