'The report cites emails showing how Isaacs pretended things were ok even as the black hole was growing'. An example of this is in August 2008, when Lehman was in secret talks to sell 50 percent of its shares to Korean financiers in order to keep afloat, Ian Lowitt, the chief financial officer, contacted Isaacs about his worries over the deal but received the message 'Fingers crossed.

Prior to joining the Lehman Brothers, Isaacs led the European equity derivatives trading business of Goldman Sachs.[3]
