Reasons.....?

Lehman's slow collapse began as the mortgage market crisis, its stock began a steady fall from a peak.The fears were based on the fact that the firm was a major player in the market for subprime and prime mortgages, and that as the smallest of the major Wall Street firms, it faced a larger risk that large losses could be fatal.
Most affected are the investment bank and Lehman Brothers.
