The fact that former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld has yet to show his face to former employees, choosing instead to hide behind an email not sent ’til the end of last week, has caused a lot of anger. And, not surprisingly, a lot of what seem to be made up stories that conveniently center around the physical suffering of The Gorilla. In the last twenty-four hours, we’re received the following accounts:
“Dick Fuld had audacity to use the Lehman gym [on Sunday] and got punched in the face.”
“I’ve been hearing rumors (and I would take this with a grain of salt) that on the Friday before all shit hit the fan at Lehman, Dick Fuld had a panic attack and someone saw him being take out of the Lehman building on a stretcher. This is supposedly an eye witness account from one of my boyfriend’s contacts at Lehman. Take it for what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true.”
“Dick Fuld came into 745 today and nearly got run over by a cab crossing the street.”
All highly unlikely, though all completely understandable revenge fantasies that many would pay good money to be true, had DF not robbed them of their life’s savings. And frankly, on behalf of the former Brothers, we’ve had it up to here with Fuld’s refusal to come out of his hermetically sealed bunker, which has clearly driven his erstwhile employees to hallucination. So we are tasking our best (only) investigative journalist, to make good use of the fact that we’ve got Dick’s home address in Connecticut, and taking a trip out to Greenwich this weekend. That or we will suggest to Charlie Gasparino that it was Fuld who leaked his voicemails, which will get the FBI on the case. Fuld is sure to be smoked out that way.

Sorry for the repeat. Darned posting lag. Itchy clicker finger.
He’s probably in that secure location where they stashed Cheney in 2001.
Bess, EP & DB Team,
Why so little coverage of Lehman the past few days? Lots of big news – all 10k US employees received offers, US employees ‘08 bonus pool of $2.5B intact while UK Lehman employees get the shaft (!!), etc.
Terrific idea, while you’re at it can you pick me up a Mommy and Me Yoga Manual and case of mild to severe suburbia-induced alcoholism while you’re there?
I’m in G’wich, not far from DF geographically but VERY far from him economically. Place was vewwy, vewwy quiet. Driveway is a long, winding way from the street – you cannot see the house from the street. Big apple orchard in the front – perfectly maintained, never seen a soul in it. If you want the address you can Google him, his campaign donations give the addy.
@6– they already reported the 2.5 bn: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/09/dont-deny-it-you-could-go-for.php
“severance equal to what was promised Lehman…estimated at about $2.5 billion.”
He is hanging out at an undisclosed location with another Dick…CHENEY!
@ 9, seen the place, not too shabby, eh?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess he’s partying down with Spitzer @ the Bunny Ranch or some such place of last resort
You worthless bastards, none of you thought to mention Radian and Magic weren’t on the endangered species list? I could have shorted the shit out of those turds. Thanks for nothing worthless Dealbreaker readership.

Yes, just like Bethany McLean s upcomimg article on the credit crisis . If Blythe Masters were more attractive , it would make more interesting reading about her chain-smoking , gin swilling , baby dropping ( on head … long after birth .. thx DM ) , cuckolding (not cock holding DM , unless you include plastic in her case ) .
@23-who is Blythe Masters?
Anyone for spotted dick?
Blythe invented the CDO & CDS which is what Warren dubbed the WMD of Wall Street.
“…Credit default swaps were invented with collateralised debt obligations in 1995 by Blythe Masters, a 34-year Cambridge graduate who was then the head of JP Morgan’s Global Credit Derivatives group…”

According to zabasearch, there is a Richard Fuld at 771 North st in Greenwich. Is our info in sync? I looked at the spread using Google maps and it’s sweet.
There’s a fish in Australia called a spotted dick.
There’s a pudding (dessert, if you must) in Britain called Spotted Dick.
I pass on this information for the benefit of Lehman’s US employees, who may be confused when they enter the Barclays canteen.
- Wharfer
she absolutely did NOT invent the CDO.
CDS is another story, but tranching debt was a specialty of one Larry Fink back at First Boston. Started as CMO, then took a suicidal turn for the worst shortly after the calming of the multiple ‘98 debt collapses.
i hear he is just hiding out in house in greenwich, CT
