Feb. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Ernst & Young LLP, former auditor of bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., should “disgorge” $125 million in fees earned in an alleged fraud that used so-called Repo 105 transanscations to conceal tens of billions of dollars in debt, New York officials said in a court filing.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman made the filing in U.S. District Court in Manhattan today after the auditing firm tried to get the suit dismissed.
