Practice Management

With Lehman Brothers filing the largest bankruptcy in history, there are a couple interesting points to make.

First, in a democracy, what is a right for the biggest and most powerful corporations among us, should be a right extended to the least consumer among us.  After all, this is also Biblical, is it not?  "Whatever you do for the least of these my brothers, you do it to me".  Matthew 25:40.

Second, it is interesting to view the top 10 biggest brothers (bankruptcies) of all time to give you the size and enormity of that right.  These are:

1.    Lehman Brothers - $639 billion in assets.
2.    Worldcom - 103.4 billion in assets.
3.    Enron - $63.4 billion in assets.
4.    Conseco - $61.4 billion in assets.
5.    Texaco - $35.9 billion in assets.
6.    Financial Corp. of America - $33.9 billion in assets.
7.    Refco - $33 billion in assets.
8.    Global Crossing - $30.2 billion in assets.
9.    Pacific Gas and Electric - $29.8 billion in assets.
10.  United Airlines - $25.2 billion in assets.
