At one time my wife and I owned a Travel Company, one day two Eastern Airlines pilots came in on a PR tour telling everyone not to worry about Eastern Airlines because they were here for the long run and weren’t going anywhere.
Less than a week later they filed for bankruptcy and quit flying.
I could be mistaken but one time Lehman Brothers said their financial condition was strong, soon after they closed the door and got rid of everyone.
I knew some people who worked there and had a lot of family money invested. Poof.
