@DickFuld" why hadn't you added this to our event calendar?
From WSJ:
Richard Fuld Jr., who was chief executive of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., has been largely out of the public eye since the firm collapsed in 2008. But that’s set to change next month.The organizers of the 2015 Marcum MicroCap Conference said that Mr. Fuld will address conference attendees in his “first major public address since leaving Lehman Brothers in 2008,” the conference organizers said in a press release.
Mr. Fuld will discuss “the strategy employed by Lehman Brothers to become one of the world’s leading investment banks, aspects of the financial crisis, the current capital market environment, and the keys to success for today’s growth companies choosing to access the capital markets now,” the release said.
Mr. Fuld won’t take a fee for his speech, and one of the conference organizers’, David Bukzin, a partner at Marcum LLP, said that Mr. Fuld asked Marcum to instead donate his speaking fee, which would have been in the “low five figures” to the non-profit Harlem Children’s Zone instead. Mr. Fuld will take questions from the audience, Mr. Bukzin said.While he hasn’t been much in the public eye, Mr. Fuld hasn’t been entirely absent from deal making. In October, the Journal reported that Mr. Fuld advised a little-known company called OpenMatch Holdings LLC in its acquisition of the 130-year-old National Stock Exchange.
Mr. Fuld’s Matrix Advisors LLC worked on that deal. Matrix was launched by Mr. Fuld in April 2009, roughly seven months after Lehman’s September 2008 bankruptcy—the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Other clients of Matrix have included Ecologic Transportation Inc. and GlyEco Inc., according to regulatory filings.
The firm’s website lists just the Matrix Advisors’ name and address in midtown Manhattan but promises more “coming soon.” According to LinkedIn, Matrix has at least ten employees. Matrix and Mr. Fuld did not respond to requests for comment that were relayed to an assistant at the firm.
It’s a far cry from the roughly 25,000 employees that Mr. Fuld oversaw during his tenure as chairman and chief executive of Lehman from 1994 through 2008. (He took over as CEO in 1993).
While Mr. Fuld has occasionally been photographed with his wife at social functions in recent years, he has kept perhaps the lowest-profile of all financial-crisis era bank CEOs.

Dick, don't forget to give me a shoutout.
Dick should give us a code word that he puts into this speech so that he is officially certified by the WSO hivemind. My vote for secret code word is "poo poo butt".
my vote is he closes his speech with: "And lastly I'd like to thank Andy Louis for inspiring me to be a better human being. Seacrest out."
I bet $5 that he'll go there drunk on Bombay Sapphire.
Should begin the speech with, "...yes," I am actually Dick Fuld" or "Will the real Dick Fuld please stand up?, Well I guess I already am!"
Ah I knew i read the will the real dick fuld please stand up.. Yeah, I found this forum when I joined...

It's for the children.....something very few on WSO can understand.
WU
Andy: HORRIBLE picture by the way. You're better than that.
Fixed it Dick.
There better be a video of the speech and posted on WSO! Look forward to it
cool.. i considered for a second the possibility of meeting Dick Fuld there but then decided against it .. This WSO user tag is the closest I have come to having a secret identity (and by extension - a james bond-like life... in my dreams at least) and I intend to keep it that way!
Anyway, DickFuld kudos for stepping up. Also, a code word/phrase in your speech about this community would be awesome though - "its a jungle out there", or something else :)
will he get egg'ed?
Laugh at me i'm so noobish that i tought Dick Fuld user on WSO was legit...omg
Just say the following: ''In life, we all need a companion''. Both a shoutout to me & WSO. Come on, this is fair.
Ah man, I'm writing an exam during this time :(
Would have loved to have made the trip down to NY for this. Hopefully they make a proper recording of it.
Should wear a WSO tee along with the suit and tie, and be carrying an opened Bombay bottle in one hand
At this point, with all these shoutouts, Fuld is going to look like he's picking up the award for best new musician at MTV.
Dick is a psycho. Remember when he went all crazy during the bankruptcy? Screw him!
