History

Historical Context

Lehman Brothers’ September 15 2008 Chapter 11 filing, driven by a 31:1 leverage ratio and massive sub-prime exposure, triggered a Dow fall of over 500 points and a Fed-backed $138 billion liquidity rescue. The 2008 shock led regulators to tighten capital rules for tech-focused lenders, a backdrop for today’s CoreWeave bond distress in the market.
