I think you're trying to address a lot of interesting thoughts with this, cotton.
What about the debtors who were Lehman counter-parties or lawyers, and wound up with assets they've been managing for fees?
I have trouble thinking about how much debt they should be re-paid, if they have a debt claim at all.
Same with A&M.
They confiscated what they wanted and told the equity holders to piss off and charged them re-structuring fees & BK management fees.
Now, what does it mean for them to have Lehman assets going forward?
