Lehman Says Barclays (BCS) Took $8.2 Billion Too Much

r218533_855025Lehman Bros. has misplaced $8.2 billion and believes that Barclays (BCS) may have made off with it.

Barclays bought some of Lehman’s assets after the investment house filed Chapter 11.

According to AP, “Lehman wants a judge to force Barclays to give back some of the money it took as part of the deal, including $5 billion given as extra collateral. Lehman says the extra value was not disclosed to the court.”

It is surprising that it took Lehman a year to figure out so much money had gone missing.
