Corporate Greed Tour

Before you head off on the Corporate Greed Tour get a good night's sleep and eat a big breakfast because there's a whole lot of greed to see.

Midtown Tour

Tour map coming soon...

$.  Start off with Lehman Brothers in the Times Square area (49th & 7th).  The second big investment bank to fail, Lehman pretty much took the markets with it.  Barclay's Bank purchased much of Lehman's assets including its very nice Times Square headquarters.

$.  Walk south to 47th street and then east, to Madison Avenue see Bear Stearns, the first big investment bank to fail.  JP Morgan Chase purchased Bear Stearns and took over its state of the art building.

$.  Walk east to Park Avenue, and head north.  Along Park Avenue are many banks, hedge funds and other financial firms, but there are just too many to point out.  Walk up to 53rd street, make a right and head to Third Avenue where you can see Citigroup's office building (they have a nice atrium to visit once you are done).

$.  Don't worry, you are almost done, across the street is the Lipstick building, home to Bernie Madoff's massive Ponzi scam.

This website believes what happened was terrible and that despite poor actions of many institutions and a decent number of employees, many employees were good and unfortunately punished.
