- clintmaher, on 04/21/2009, -1/+18Will he publicly expose the questionable financial practices that happened? He looks like he's up to the challenge though!

Miller) says. “It probably would’ve cost the economy a lot less money.”
They knew that Mr. Miller. - JanusTheDoorman, on 12/15/2008, -0/+6Did anyone else picture the "bankruptcy bar" as a place where suddenly unemployed financial executives turn up to drink?
- Midtowner, on 12/15/2008, -0/+5That's not his job. He's supposed to pick the bones of the corporate entity clean and put the viable pieces to good use, and at the same time, pay off Lehman Brothers' creditors as best he can.
He gets a percentage of the deal. After he's done here, he's probably going to go off and buy an island somewhere. - aralls, on 12/15/2008, -0/+48am - 11pm. I hope I'm not working those hours at 75, or if I am, that I have a great job - like "bikini inspector" or something.
- borez, on 12/15/2008, -0/+4Put it next door to the "Credit Munch " budget restaurant.
- borez, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2That's gotta be like unwinding a ball of string that's been sat it's whole life in a tar pit.
- Sinnic, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Not sure what that means or where it's from...but I like it anyway.
- aralls, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2reported - ***** you!
- honeybrass, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1I'm going to open a bankruptcy bar. I'm sure there are plenty of bankrupt peoples looking to drown their sorrows
- owls27, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1Not really feeling the whole "?" thing. Let my brain do a little work if I don't understand a word.
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -1/+2Poor old fart.
- GroundhogBoy, on 12/16/2008, -1/+1Weil's in prime condition to clean up on this economic mess. They can collect 100s of millions, if not billions, on these bankruptcy cases over the next few years, all the while throwing the proceeds into stocks that will undoubtedly soar at some point. On the fallout of the current economic situation, they could likely replace Skadden, Cravath, Wachtell, etc. as pillars. BTW, at another firm with a different gameplan that's doing well not, but not "Weil" good, ATM.
- joshuagm, on 12/15/2008, -0/+0Incredible. This is like a fairy tale, except there are no fairies but the wicked witches doing their thing.

- GroundhogBoy, on 12/16/2008, -1/+1He could have bought that island long ago if that were his motive. He's 75, most firms kick you out by then.
