One of the many untold stories of the Lehman Bros collapse link
1 Timothy 6:17-19
17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
That’s a very sad tale, expecially considering the huge amount of money given to one man at the top. I notice the story said nothing about the company’s Board of Directors who must have approved the salary and astronomical bonuses for the CEO. How can the directors claim that they were looking after the shareholders’ interests? Their hides should be pinned to the wall in cases like this, and then corporate directors all over North America would shape up.
