CNBC's Charlie Gasparino reports that Lehman Brothers has fired CFO Erin Callan* and COO Joseph Gregory. Ian Lowitt will take over as CFO and Bart McDade will be named president and COO. Gasparino said Fuld felt the reorganization was necessary because the dropping stock indicated the market had lost confidence in his team. We're not buying that the ugly green suit didn't factor into Fuld's decision.
*Supposedly she'll "rejoin" the investment banking unit. That won't be weird or anything.

All I can say is Buh Bye Lehman. Maybe someone will bis $5 bucks in a take under soon.

"Dude"...If you haven't noticed Lehman has been in a shambles for quite some time now. They have been tetering on the brink of disaster for a year. Erin was brought for no other reason than they needed a pretty face to put on this mess. She just intensified the problems by lying and now there was a financing done at 28 a few days ago based on LIES!! Doesn't take a genius to figure out the firm will be in for some major money issues very soon if not already. Therefore it is safe to assume counterparties will get nervous and oull the plug on them just as they did with Bear. Hedge Funds who do not have confidenece in LEH will stop doing business with them as they have their investors interests to protect. Wake up and read the writing on the wall...LE is cooked.
I guess you are a low level cubicle dweller at Lehman who got an ego boost this summer cause you have a pimply faced intern helping you file this summer.

Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 10:01AM
Assuming Lehman goes down.
Will they go for a Fed-supervised sale or liquidation? Many Bear Stearns staff thought at the time that more value would have been realised if Bear was liquidated instead of sold to JPM for a pittance.
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 10:03AM
She was total nonsense.
That "intro" on the last earnings call was a joke...did she last 12 mos in the job?
I remember in '96 when she was a glorified Sr. Assoc. in "Fixed Income Solutions" which reported to FIG.
She would blabber in the monday morning meetings about 5yr non-call 10, Perp Trust Pref's or whatever and we would all turn to ourselves and say who is this bimbo....?
She played the short skirt and bad cream Lord & Taylor shoes card as far as it would go...
ps, CFOs need some financial training, not some bs "soultions" pitching spin nonsense.
When the NYT does its Sunday story on a female exec its the beginning of the end.
Hope she doesnt come back to FIG.
My $300K of LEH is finally going up!

I like the older ladies myself. Everyone knows that.
Problem with Erin is that she's barely old enough and that she fits my definition of a "skank". I've written about her before, and I'll take a pass.
I guess Mr. Fuld didn't care for her style either.
HAM05...If you like it, make yourself known to Erin. Who knows? You might get lucky and get some good experience in the process. You youngsters need to tap into some of that older stuff. You don't know what you're missing. I found that out long ago.

LEH Employee Here... Not really worried about failure, the capital raises have given the company plenty of liquidity. I could definitely see Fuld sell the company a year from now though. At the end of the day, most of the client businesses at LEH are still generating money, but there is too much RE stuff on the balance sheet. Bear had one or two good businesses and a lot of marginal businesses, LEH has one bad business (RE) but a lot of other good businesses. Firm will survive

Thank for the slimjim history.
I can't change who I am though. I never posted anywhere before db, and I stumbled upon db back during the Bear meltdown in March.
I have tried to keep my comments in line with those of a particular thread, and often threads turn into sex/women/wealth/antics discussions. I don't turn them, but I chime in and get blasted. Comments I think are fairly benign get hammered vituperatively. Others make much more vile postings, and nothing happens.
I never have worked in the investment business, but I do have investments that depend upon what happens on Wall St.
I also like db. I think it's a great site. I've learned much from the many thoughtful and knowledgeable postings I see here. Anal_yst in particular is quite impressive.(I do enjoy calling you 'clown' though).
No one wants to intrude where one's presence is actually painful to others. I'm no exception.
If my postings are really so offensive to and reviled by the db community, I imagine I should stop. Is that really the situation? If I sense that it truly is, then I'll cease. I won't post anonymously either. I'll probably just give up on db altogether.

They were just saying on CNBC that the bosses of firms don't understand the risks their traders are taking. Sadly, way back in '98 Lehman fired John Succo for saying the same thing:
"The trouble started when John Succo, trading manager at Lehman Brothers’ equity derivatives volatility desk, agreed to speak at an investment conference sponsored by Grant’s Interest Rate Observer.
After discussing the pricing of risk and the correlation between equity derivatives and the underlying stock market for a while, Succo was asked a question. “I don’t think my boss is here, so I’ll address that,” he responded. “I don’t think that the people running our firm, our equity floor, have any idea of the things that we actually do, of how we...(audience laughter) I’m serious...of how we hedge, the products that we’re involved with, the amount of risk we take or the lack of risk we actually take.”
He went on to describe a 26-year-old derivatives trader at a big bank who believed that his senior management’s understanding of the risks at the institution was “probably off by a factor of 10.” “And I think that’s probably pretty accurate. I think as I said before, management, if you’re making money, kind of leaves you alone until there is a crisis situation. And I don’t think that’s a way to run a firm.”

its okay, i knew he meant me. 10 years is a LONG time for a lady of that age. TGFD is partly right about erin in that way.

anyone have any idea why this post is credited to Gasparino?? he did not break this story or anything. did he call bess personally to let her know?
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 3:05PM
3:03PM- tell us, what was the first news outlet to have this story?
Posted by diablo , Jun 12, 2008 3:06PM
@3:03 PM
CNBC staged it as if it were a scoop by the gasman. Bess ate it up?
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 3:09PM
ok then, 3:03/diablo- then who got the story first?
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 3:14PM
Guest@2:54pm...
Curious. Where was I partly right about Erin?

the "For someone who is only 42, Erin is remarkably poorly preserved. That leathery-looking, too much sun, heavily blemished skin for starters. She has the hands of a 60+ year-old woman" part.

OK, OK, CNBC broke the story. Was it leaked to the gasman? By whom?
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 3:30PM
if CNBC broke the story, then obviously it was leaked to gasparino. how else would he have gotten it? thin air? geniuses.

you know, taking another look at that picture of erin callan, to whatever girl was saying its not an upskirt but just taken from below to make her look powerful - it doesn't look like it is from below at all. both photos are straight on, and she has her legs out in front of her in both, i.e. between her body and the camera, the emphasis is more obvious the second time i have looked.

Shit, if gas really did break this story he is going to come here and put me and my spin bike through the wall

Anal_yst, it's nice to see you acting so gentlemanly towards TGFD/TOGFD. He is not deserving of your kindness.
Mr. Pink, good luck on landing the Chicago gig! The apartment sounds great!
TGFD/TOGFD, I don't have the time to list the reasons I LOATHE your posts.
Here are just a few.
The Delaware boosterism is just unnecessary and annoying. Nobody cares.
Your remarks during the Bear collapse and buy-out were nasty and harsh, and betrayed a lack of understanding of what was at stake.
Your frequent hostile remarks about how little people on Wall Street do and how much they earn have been duly noted.
You frequently rage about older women who lack "dignity." Don't you think your clumsy attempts to engage in sexual camaraderie with guys in their 20s and 30s (when you are approaching 60) lacks a certain dignity?
Your remark that you "attract chicks of all ages" is patently absurd. Most women who post obviously can't stand you. I doubt that it's any different in person.
You can't seem to stomach women of any age who have a certain amount of spirit.
Your sexual remininsces read like a cheap 50s romance novel.
I haven't read a single post from you that has taught me anything or made me laugh.
You constantly name call and insult people. The names and the insults are always the same.
This puts aside all the identity issues that are so transparent and tiresome. You have struck this pose of asking for reassurance and suggesting that you could go away and never come back before. But you never do. Please make good on your threat!

@mrp - good work on the quick turn around on the chi-town job. hope the shake shack crowd is treating you well. lake view for $1,200 with a 2nd bedroom to boot, nice. but what about the night life? you better get a bulk package on ord-lga flights, gonna get lonely on the weekends.
@anal_yst - brosef? c'mon man. I can't think of any posters on this site who are from the hood (not even me)...

RE: @6:30 - Alright sports fans, TOGFD is now offically out of here. I'm terribly sorry to have crashed your party and stunk up your beloved board. I should have known this wasn't going to work when I tried to register and nothing happen....never got the return e-mail. Oh, well. Lessons learned. . But, wtf, it was a lot of fun while it lasted. Good luck. I really do not know what TGFD will do, as we are, honest to God, two seperate people, regardless of the mythology that has been adopted here. (Hint: He calls you "clowns; whereas I call you "asswipes.)
TOGFD has left the house.
Later.

I can't see how anyone could wanna pipe Callan, I wouldn't hit it with TGFD's dick.
Posted by cauxion , Jun 12, 2008 8:33PM
Is it me or does Gas P. always look real greasy? I might send Kernan an email to tell him to hand that guy a deep cleaning facial cleansing wipe... a paper towel or something..
But yeah, he broke the story... sounded out of breath while he was reading it too. Must've sprinted to the phone after that second year analyst at LEH tipped him off....
Posted by diablo , Jun 12, 2008 9:34PM
cauxion @ 8:33PM
All I know is that the gasman was in the West coast so it was before 6:00 AM over there when he got the call. He could have got the call from someone from CNBC who knew exactly how to reach him, or someone from LEH who is using the gasman as a tool. Make your bet.
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 10:34PM
Did Callan put on hedges that resulted in $ billion losses?
Posted by guest , Jun 12, 2008 11:48PM
Callan is hot. I would drink her bath water.
Call me baby.

@cluzo oh do they say 'brosef' in the hood?
it seems unlikely but if you say so i'll believe it
Posted by guest , Jun 13, 2008 8:19AM
Do you guys work much? Sounds like a battery of croaking retail brokers with too much time on the left palm.
Posted by guest , Jun 13, 2008 10:30AM
For all you pseudo-intellects, also known as air-heads, Gasparino is the only news hound CNBC can produce. He knows Wall Street and the shit that goes on and no, he doesn't call Bess...he reports it on TV. Remember..Tattletale told you this a long time ago and right here.
Posted by guest , Jun 13, 2008 11:56AM
I like how they put an African-American in to take over for Callan. JoBurg in the hizzy! Zimbabwe style economics here we come!

Androgyny@6:30PM, 06/12…
‘Androgyny’. I like that name for you. I define it as “one who bears both antlers and ovaries at the same time”. It is not a slam at you. I believe it is a complement to your skill at masking your gender. I think you’re a man, but I’m not sure. I ask that you adopt ‘Androgyny’ as your moniker. It suits you well. Total anonymity is what you’ve told me you prefer. You’ve ‘rattled my cage’ before; I recognize your style. I know also that you don’t like the word ‘moniker’; you’ve told me that too. Please don’t let that or your “LOATHING” for me prevent you from using ‘Androgyny’; you would be depriving yourself of a very fine name just for spite. Try it on for size. See what happens. You might like it.
Thank you also for “taking an inventory” of my many flaws and “character defects”. I’m sure there are quite a few others, but time wouldn’t permit you to list them.

@3:12,
Hey TOGFD, welcome back. Not everyone on db hates you and TGFD. Most of us know you're two different people. "asswipe" gave you away.
Some posters on db do have some issues though. They need to chill out.

Hey, a couple of douches are beating up on TGFD over on the Layoff Watch '08 thread from 10:25 this morning. He might need a hand.

Gregory gets out of Hofstra as avg. Takes 30 years to rise, no other formal ed...how does a COO get there as avg?
Paying $56M, how about a Harvard man with McKensie style leadership?
Oh well, he lingers on as a troll, and 1000's will lose their jobs, and 10,000's will lose money supporting these people.
