It appears that the guy's an environmental nut who had a list of demands for the company.

Look what is happening during the "Discovery Channel Standoff"

CSPAN2

Former Lehman Brothers chairman and CEO Dick Fuld is testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) panel. In his prepared remarks, Fuld places the blame for the company’s bankruptcy on government regulators, saying they were not given the same aid that was “given to each of its competitors and other nonfinancial firms." Fuld went on to say that the same regulators relied on “flawed information” when assessing Lehman's financial state, which he claims ultimately led the firm's "forced" bankruptcy.

Earlier, former Wachovia executive Robert Steel said he was ordered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 2008 to sell his company to avoid a banking system collapse.
