LEHMAN BROTHERS

Lehman Brothers as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Lehman Brothers and 2012 — sum to $595,511. 377 itemized contributions and 150 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2012 is a presidential even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Lehman Brothers hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Lehman Brothers is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 150 donors and 377 lines in 2012 matched that word. Alumni, household members, and filers who still type the full Brothers spelling sit in other buckets. LEHMAN BROS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, and LEHMAN are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Lehman Brothers as stored.

6.8% of the Lehman Brothers roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,758,084. The 2012 slice of $595,511 is about 6.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.2%. Treating 2012 as the Lehman Brothers FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $8,758,084 as the denominator for the 6.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $8,758,084. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions

How much did Lehman Brothers donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $595,511 in itemized individual contributions for the Lehman Brothers grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 377 contributions and 150 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,758,084 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Lehman Brothers FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,758,084. The 2012 cell of $595,511 is about 6.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.2% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Lehman Brothers hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Lehman Brothers employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Lehman Brothers. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $595,511 from 150 donors on 377 contribution lines.

Where is the overlay for the Lehman Brothers 2012 join?

Open Lehman Brothers 2012 for the cycle overlay, Lehman Brothers for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
