I'm speechless. It took a couple re-reads to come to grips with the fact that this was literal and not a metaphor. Lehman and their ilk have already dropped The Big One on retirement accounts, non-profit trust funds, and other elements of the economy people need to have trust in. We're still spending around $10Billion/month in a war that was sold to us with a fabricated story about Saddam Hussein having ~attempted~ to obtain yellow-cake, and here one of the least trusted actors in our economy, with a track record of putting greed above all other considerations, is actually in possession of some. I think I'll go throw up now. um…. I’m speechless. It took a couple re-reads to come to grips with the fact that this was literal and not a metaphor.

Here's what bothers me: We have absolutely no foundation to trust that these bankers are going to comply with restrictions or laws. They haven't so far. They've done what they want, arrogantly and without regard for others' lives or well being. What's to stop them from holding the US government hostage with this stuff, to tell us that we HAVE to give them something in exchange for compliance with the rules on the sale and distro of this stuff? Seriously, they are untrustworthy stewards, and shouldn't have any control over such dangerous materials. Dennis, thanks for the links on the restrictions.

Lehman would be subject to this UN placed restrictions. Lehman still has a good market opportunity for the material right here in the USA where it can be re manufactured into HEU and LEU (high and low enriched uranium). Canada needs HEU for their medical isotopes reactors. Energy producing reactors worldwide require LEU. http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:Gmcad0FFOXkJ:isis-online.org/publications/iran/Iran_Yellowcake.pdf+yellowcake+restrictions&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a Also a good Wiki explanation of what HEU is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium Here is a good article on restrictions for exporting and importing uranium oxide (yellowcake).
