(FILES) The sign for Lehman Brothers headquarters is seen in New York on September 15, 2008. New York's attorney general on December 21, 2010 charged accounting firm Ernst & Young with fraud for allegedly helping Lehman Brothers conceal billions of dollars in debt prior to the bank's collapse. In a lawsuit, New York attorney general and incoming governor Andrew Cuomo charged Ernst & Young with helping Lehman Brothers remove tens of billions of dollars in securities from its balance sheet "in order to deceive the public about Lehman?s true liquidity condition." The alleged fraud was practiced seven years prior to the 2008 collapse, it said in a statement. AFP PHOTO/Nicholas ROBERTS
