Only in America can a completely bankrupt company that caused one of the largest financial disasters in the world can shell out $1.5 billion to buy some apartments. Great country.

Apparently I don't understand the definition of "bankrupt". I'm going to run & get the dictionary. . .

Lehman's estate is buying back the portion to be distributed to creditors with capital held back from distribution just for this purpose.

This is perfectly normal in a bankruptcy.

The Madoff prosecuting counsel did the same thing with his assets.

Lehman's estate is buying this in the hopes of doing an IPO and distributing the proceeds to the creditors. It is the best path towards maximizing creditor recovery. You know deep value folks when they get the bk process!

When the creditors are "satisfied" will Lehman be a company again? What would you be buying in an IPO to pay back creditors? I admit, after reading the article I don't get it
