The Treasury Department is adamantly against any plan to rescue Lehman Brothers that would put taxpayer money at risk, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Negotiations over the fate of Lehman are underway right now, with officials from the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve playing a pivotal role. But the government's assistance is mainly confined to offering waivers of certain banking regulations rather than any direct financial role, the person said.

Carney - Was your thanks to #4 or to #1? Or just a general thanks to your avid dealbreaker audience?

Hey @4 nice post you tool. You are probably one of the assholes that complained about the mayo and shamwow posts. Bess, why don't you censor the # 4 post.
