Fraud*
According to the Collins English Dictionary 10th Edition fraud can be defined as: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage".[1] In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain

Goldman Sachs Links and News - November 19, 2009


Editors Comment:  As I reported in my post yesterday, the buzz around the media and blogs today would be about Goldman's PR offer of help and aid to small business.  I was right as you will see as you scroll down today's links.  We hae yet to see a corporate image as tarnished worldwide from anyone still in business and operating globally daily.  You will see that we along with many others in major media have very similar opinions.  


Goldman Sachs is their own worst enemy when it comes to improving their image. Their CEO, Lloyd Blankfein does not appear to be helping his company's image either.  If he has a speech writer he needs to fire him or her.  If he has a Public Relations firm, they need to be terminated as well.  What Goldman needs is someone who is not blinded or directed by them. They need independent persons or firms who can help them mend their ways by utilizing their vast amounts of money in positive ways.


I am not against Capitalism nor the pursuit of happiness as long as it does not negatively impact a society.   If. in fact, they did wrong as he admitted, they must make more honest and earnest attempts at amends.  I would welcome a call from Mr. Blankfein to discuss this.



Mr. Blankfein, the American people - your people and your country - need help.  You have power, money and .the ability.  Why not use it to save your nation?   Your comments are welcome here or you can contnact me directly at info@gold666.org.
