Lehman_brothers Morgan Stanley (MS) is starting to have some of the problems that hurt Lehman.

According to the FT, "Morgan Stanley lost close to a third of assets in its prime brokerage last week, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars, as hedge funds fled after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and moved to rival banks."
