FBI Investigating Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG

Thanks to Matt from Web Developer Guru who just a few minutes ago wrote in to let me know about this latest development. The FBI is investigating the financial firms primarily involved with the recent economic collapse, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and American International Group (AIG), and those who have been running these companies, for potential fraud.

The FBI also investigated IndyMac after that bank failed earlier this year.
