Was Erin C. set up? Surely, but that goes with the territory. Then, too, here signature is all over documents at LEH that may prove to be at least self-deluded. Perhaps she hopes that she’s getting out on the right side of the self-incriminating line, but that’s for another day.

. . . A willingness to lie with a straight face and no detectable perspiration is and always has been a saleable skile. Just a thought.

Holy smokes! She’s giving up those generous mid-year stock options to move? Incredible!

So Erin Callan is the Joan Kirner of investment banking – the woman brought in to at least try to clean up the mess the fellas made, but basically set up to fail? If so, good on her for turning it to her advantage.

Excuse the 1980s Australian political reference, but it’s a common pattern.

Do you suppose she’ll be calling on Greenlight?

Two words: nice repurchase
Two more: nice repurchase
Ironic she will be servicing those nasty hedge funds. Will she demand no shorting?
