Hundreds of former bankers at Lehman Brothers are to gather for a controversial reunion in London to mark the 10-year anniversary of the collapse of the investment bank. The private gathering, which was organised via an email chain, is to take place around September 15 — the date of Lehman’s collapse 10 years ago. Organisers have gone to great lengths to keep details of the event secret but the plan to share cocktails and canapes has drawn the ire of some politicians and campaigners. An email invite, seen by Financial News, is addressed to “Lehman Brothers & Sisters” and reads: “It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the last of our Lehman days!... One of the best things about Lehman was the people. What better way to celebrate the tenth anniversary than getting everyone from former MDs to former analysts back together again!” Around 210 former employees at the bank, from those who were junior analysts at the time of the crash to senior managing directors, are expected to attend.via
