Ex-Lehman chiefs seek $90m to settle shareholder suit

The pending settlement would end a class-action suit that began in June 2008 - about three months before Lehman filed for Chapter 11 protection

Former Lehman Brothers chief executive Dick Fuld and other directors and officers are seeking the release of $90m in insurance funds to settle a potential multibillion-dollar lawsuit brought by shareholders of the failed investment bank.

The pending settlement, filed Wednesday with the US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, would end a class-action suit that began in June 2008 - about three months before Lehman filed for Chapter 11 protection.
