Drexel Burnham Lambert was one of the most profitable Wall Street investment banking firms during the late 1970s and most of the 1980s.
Drexel, however, was more aggressive in their business practices than most and organizationally the firm experimented with the traditional management model.
Drexel was forced to buy the bonds of insolvent and failing companies, which depleted their capital and eventually bankrupt the company.

While the fiery collapse of Drexel attracted so much attention, most people are unaware of how its predecessor, a tiny, relatively inconsequential brokerage begun in 1935, was able to become the nation's fifth largest investment bank.
Burnham, known by his childhood nickname of Tubby, borrowed money to start his business in the depths of the Depression.
Burnham noted that by today's dot.com tycoon standards he would be considered a failure - his net worth barely reached $1 million after more than 25 years on Wall Street.

 In re DREXEL BURNHAM LAMBERT GROUP INC., et al., Debtors.
Bachelor, Debtor's employee and a participant in a meeting prior to Investors' filing with Clayton and Deutschman, DCC's principals, declares "[t]he entire thrust of the meeting, as well as Investors' overall negotiations with DCC, was to achieve a settlement and termination of Investors' relationship with DCC and Investors' liability under the Funding Agreement." Bachelor Aff.
Bachelor stressed that since Drexel (Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc. had already filed for bankruptcy) was planning to emerge from bankruptcy as a scaled down investment banking firm, DCC could be a material player in Drexel's reorganization and a vehicle through which the reorganized entity would invest.
Bachelor made it clear that Drexel was considering continuing to do business with DCC in bankruptcy and urged us to consider how this could be effectuated.

 Judge's Decisions
The debtor prays for such a declaration and a judgment voiding Drexel's lien pursuant to section 506(d) and preserving the avoided lien for the benefit of the estate pursuant to section 551.
Drexel has moved the court for dismissal on grounds that the complaint fails to state a cause of action and fails to name the senior lienholder as a party.
The court finds Collier's views to be consistent with its own general understanding of the Bankruptcy Code, and therefore agrees with Drexel that this adversary proceeding cannot be used to fix the amount of its secured claim for all purposes, and particularly cannot be used to establish the value for purposes of a plan.

At the time Drexel exited the market by declaring bankruptcy, it was the dominant market maker and underwriter of junk bonds.
We examine the impact of Drexel’s failure on direct and indirect holders of junk bonds by investigating the effect of Drexel’s collapse on junk bond returns, and on the stock returns of a group of firms that, on average, held significant amounts of junk bonds.
This suggests that the monitoring services provided by Drexel for the bonds it underwrote would not be replaced easily by other financial intermediaries operating in the junk bond market.

Drexel Burnham Lambert, the firm where Stanton worked in the 1980s, was synonymous at the time with powerful junk bond dealers and leveraged buyouts.
He was in town to work on a new investment fund, one that borrows a few tricks from his Drexel days, one that Milwaukee has not seen in the past.
Stanton's associates explain that while Drexel junk bond king Michael Milken was getting rich in the 1980s - and before Milken was indicted on charges of securities fraud in 1989 - Stanton innovated a class of exotic investments that made money from Hollywood movies that had not yet been filmed.

 Michael R. Milken --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!
He studied at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and went to work in 1969 for what was to become Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc., an investment-banking company.
He persuaded many of his clients to invest in junk bonds issued by new or financially troubled companies; the capital he raised financed a new class of “corporate raiders” who carried out numerous mergers, acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and leveraged buyouts in the 1980s.
Milken pled guilty to securities fraud the same year and was sentenced to 10 years in prison and a $600-million fine; released after 22 months, he since made a second fortune.
