Lehman expects Unsecured creditors will be paid according to the original bankruptcy fileing:
http://amlawdaily.typepad.com/amlawdaily/files/lehman.pdf
"Debtor estimates that funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors."
"Creditors of LEHMAN BROTHERS would receive stock rather than cash under a plan that could separate its illiquid assets into two companies, which would force them to wait for repayment but potentially boost their returns."

The ghost of Lehman Brothers will forever haunt Tiny Tim Geithner, Cramer said Thursday(2/19/09). The Treasury secretary's decision to let that investment bank fail will be a black mark on his credibility. In fact, it's the whole reason he can't garner popular support for his latest rescue plan.
Geithner's always claimed he didn't have the legal authority to save Lehman, but Cramer's sources tell a different story. And the implications could affect Citigroup [C 1.95 
-0.56 (-22.31%) 
] , Bank of America [BAC 3.79 -0.14 (-3.56%) ] and all rest of the banks. Will Geithner ever admit his mistake, or will these institutions go under as well?
