Of course, a link on that same page to http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSSEO18673220080910 says

SEOUL (Reuters) - State-run Korea Development Bank KDB.UL has ended talks with Lehman Brothers (LEH.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) over a possible investment in the U.S. bank due to lack of progress, a government official briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.

I think that second link is yesterdays story as it is so long. Pity Reuters website keeps timestamping it. Bloomberg Tv/Radio reporting the deal back on.
