Excellent points brikk..Here is info as it pertains to bonus money paid to A&M for Lehman collections..Excerpt from recent headlines.."The firm’s contract with Lehman entitles it to a bonus of 0.175 percent of all amounts above $15 billion recovered for unsecured creditors. That’s capped at 25 percent of the fees A&M gets for dismantling Lehman, according to court documents. Based on fees collected so far, the bonus cap would be $50 million."..
