It's complex, but not really. Simpe garden-variety scam involving off balance sheet stuff designed to make the balance sheet look decent at the end of a quarter. Borrowed funny money used to ratchet down leverage but the liability for it not shown anywhere. A bit like Enron, if not exactly so.

Read Denninger and Naked Capitalism for the nasty details.

Lehman, Fuld, Geithner...all in bed to prop up a dying co. Now here is the kicker, IMO, it was left to the wolves so that the criminal incompetence of the aforesaid might better escape scrutiny. And they will succeed because no one cares enough to raise the stink that needs to be raised.
