After Richard "Gorilla" Severin Fuld, Jr, CEO of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., who had enjoyed the reputation of being the toughest investment banker on Wall Street up until September 15, 2008, when Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Dick Fuld did not have courage to face his own employees or even send an explanatory email.
