Dick Fuld opens real estate brokerage

Mr. Fuld strikes again:

Just seven years after his brokerage firm collapsed under a mountain of troubled mortgages, former Lehman Bros. Chairman and CEO Dick Fuld is back in the real estate business.
Last year, Fuld's financial advisory firm, Matrix Advisors, launched a licensed real estate brokerage and hired a seasoned real estate broker and asset manager, public documents show.
In February 2014, Matrix hired Howard Schussler, a former asset manager and leasing associate at Kimco Realty, a publicly traded owner and operator of shopping centers, according to Schussler's LinkedIn page. Schussler also worked at C-III Capital Partners, a national real estate services and investment management company.

I am sure somebody will bring it up today:

On Thursday Fuld, who was widely blamed for Lehman's 2008 collapse, will be honored as the keynote speaker at conference in midtown Manhattan in what is being billed as his first public appearance since the $30 billion brokerage firm and investment bank went bust.

At the conference, Fuld, 69, will talk about how companies valued at under $500 million can make it in today's tougher capital environment, according to a press release by Marcum, the accounting and advisory firm sponsoring the event.
Fuld will also touch on Lehman and the financial crisis in his speech, the press release said.

I did't see this discussed in Ask DickFuld May 2015 thread.

Since neither Schussler nor Fuld returned USA TODAY's requests for comment maybe @DickFuld" could provide WSO with the exclusive information?
Want to see what you monkeys think how far he can get this time?

Picturing Dick Fuld as a realtor showing a couple of first time homebuyers a charming cape with an eat in kitchen on a quiet tree lined street was good for my morning.
