Matter-Eater Lad Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 They stole billions from taxpayers but will give a small amount back. They're such great people! http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/108182/500-million-and-an-apology-from-goldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 They get the snacks, we get the crumbs back!:laugh3: It a mafia state, and the Don's generally don't give the extortion racket money back quite too easily. Nick, I figure, with their reputation, they'll probably change names pretty soon. Kind of the way Arthur Anderson did after the ENRON scandal. Come to think of it, what did they become again?? Pretty effective in dodging the bad "branding"! Oh I get it! Let's see - rip off 16.7 billion (that's the visible part of the ice-berg), give back a few of the ice shavings (.5 Billion), and then say "I'm sorry, and I apologize". All better now!

chuck kottke Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Here's an article from Huffington's post on Goldman & their CEO's claim as to be doing "God's work." Funny, I don't recall Jesus taking record profits - do you? But there was that story about turning over the tables of the money changers in the temple though... Charles Gasparino: Goldman Sachs Doing "God's Work"? Perhaps it's time for Warren Buffet to take command of Goldman's operation there in the little rust-colored buildings?
