Repo one zero five: Lehman Brothers’ Disappearing Debt Trick
from The Skillful Art Of Manipulation | Mastering Psychology & Influence · host Joe & Ryan
Repo one zero five: Lehman Brothers’ Disappearing Debt Trick is a hard-edged investigative narrative that examines how Lehman Brothers used short-term repo transactions to temporarily remove tens of billions of dollars in liabilities from its balance sheet in the months leading up to the two thousand eight financial collapse. Told with journalistic restraint and cinematic tension, the story exposes how timing, legal structure, and accounting treatment combined to create an illusion of stability at the exact moment the firm was most fragile.
