JPMorgan Chase will return about $800 million to the trustee overseeing the collection of money owed to customers of Lehman Brothers’ broker-dealer business, Financial Times reports. The $755 million in cash and $106 million in securities will be returned to customers, who held accounts with the brokerage.
JPMorgan controlled the assets as it was the broker-dealer’s clearing bank, adds The Associated Press. The bank held the assets on behalf of fixed-income prime brokerage customers and a commercial banking subsidiary of Lehman.
