German bankers suspended for sending money to Lehman

Barcelona News.Net
Saturday 20th September, 2008

Two board members and a junior manager at German state owned lender KfW have been suspended over a transfer of money to a failing US bank.

The transfer of 300 million euros went to Lehman Brothers just hours before the US banking institution filed for bankruptcy protection.

Because the country’s finance and economy ministers sit on KfW’s board, there has been acute embarrassment in government circles, with financial experts calling the transfer laughable.

It has been assessed that in the nation of 80 million Germans, the 300 million euro transfer will cost each citizen four euros each.

German bankers suspended for sending money to Lehman

It could be a donation from the German people, to help a friend in need.

Or it could be a friend to give a hand to a falling friend in time of need.

There are things in life that are very hard to explain, but eventually the real reason behind this transfer will come out.

What was the 'factor' listed for the Transfer?

Was it a loan? Money owed? Why was money transfered?

Makes a big difference to the story’s truth!

A MISTAKE!

Such is the German Government’s labeling of the transfer.

One person close to the 'decision' said it was to unblock a streaming problem of transfers. 300 million eros each way. Looks like the actual transfer ended up being only one way. Trust given, and not returned? Is such the mistake?

eMBARASSED lEADERS DO NOT WANT THE TRUTH TO BE MADE PUBLIC!

the impression was created that it was not a government bailout but 139 billion paid into lehmans AFTER the bankruptcy was filed was to be refunded by the fed.this was all to do with derivitives and credit default swaps settlement .the Lehman bosses of course got multi million severance pay for doing their job.in addition “naked capitalism” website reports;
Staff at Lehmanâs New York office who helped to cause the worldâs biggest corporate bankruptcy are to share in a $2.5 billion bonanza.

The bonus, which has been described by London staff as a âscandalâ has been pledged by Barclays Capital, the British-based bank that last week acquired Lehmanâs American operation and took on 10,000 staff.
The $2.5 billion (£1.4 billion) pot, which has been ring-fenced as part of the acquisition, has caused huge resentment among the 5,000 staff in the firmâs European and Middle Eastern operations who are not guaranteed to be paid after this month...A Chapter 11 bankruptcy document filed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc says that Barclays has identified eight individuals out of the New York staff of 10,000 who are vital to make the deal succeed and a further 200 who are identified as âkeyâ. It is thought that these eight directors will be locked into two-year contracts worth between $10m and $25m a year.

What looks like a joke is in reality a smart crime...

...those who gave the green light to the 565 million Euro transfer to Lehman Brothers have already received their share in suitcases of cash delivered offshore.

It’s only us who would get punished.

Regain control

taxpayers money used to bail out the Jewish controlled Corporate sector has become the order of the day. It all started with privatisation many years ago. It is high time that people wrest back control of their governments from these greedy corporate bastards.
