Are the Lehman Brothers really into giving assets back?

Today, there came an announcement that the Lehman Brothers, PricewaterhouseCoopers is drawing up a plan to give assets back (worth about more than 17 billion dollars) to the creditors.

Pwc’s has originally a scheme to refund the assets, but it was unallowed by the High Court in August because there was no certainty that could win the confidence of the creditors.

Now, PwC has created a new plan by a contracutal agreement in the banking world to return billions of dollars of assets to all investors.

If PwC will fail, the negociations will soon begin with the creditors who can clame assets until the end of this year.
