This would indeed be a good analogy if there was a shread of truth in it. Lehman did not go down because the CEO forgot to zip his fly when he was talking with potential buyers. They went down because they got way over leveraged and got into irretrievable debt. Hardly the type of thing likely to entice investors, particularly when they started to ask embarassing guestions like, " Can we take a look at the books ?"
