The team winding down Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said Thursday it would be paying $1.6 billion to creditors next week, more than seven-and-a-half years after the investment bank’s collapse triggered the financial crisis, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. The payout, the ninth since the investment failed, will bring the total payout in the firm’s bankruptcy to approximately $106.9 billion. The bulk of the cash — $78.5 billion — has gone to pay third-party, or non-Lehman claims. Most the latest payout, some $1.3 billion, is also earmarked for non-Lehman creditors and is slated to be made March 31.
