“This settlement is a stark lesson to Wall Street firms that no product is too complex, and no investor too sophisticated, to avoid a heavy price if a firm violates the fundamental principles of honest treatment and fair dealing.”

Washington, D.C., July 15, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Goldman, Sachs & Co. will pay $550 million and reform its business practices to settle SEC charges that Goldman misled investors in a subprime mortgage product just as the U.S. housing market was starting to collapse.
In agreeing to the SEC's largest-ever penalty paid by a Wall Street firm, Goldman also acknowledged that its marketing materials for the subprime product contained incomplete information.

BREAKING NEWS: Huffington Post reports that on the very day the Senate passed Wall Street reform and created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner is urging President Obama NOT to appoint the most credible person as its leader: Elizabeth Warren
Elizabeth Warren is feared by Wall Street.
As chair of the bailout oversight panel, she held Wall Street executives' feet to the fire and was not afraid to speak out.
As a Harvard professor, her credentials are impeccable. And she was the one who came up with the idea for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- perhaps the best piece of this bill -- in the first place.
In short, Warren is perfect for the position and most financial insiders have just assumed she would get it. That's why it's so outrageous that Geithner -- a longtime Wall Street insider -- would attempt to sabotage her appointment
If we can get thousands of petition signatures today, the media will take notice and we can publicly shame Geithner.
This is a moment that requires good people to fight back.

IKB's CEO Found Guilty of Market Manipulation -- Some U.S. Bank CEO's Should Also Face Charges
Financial news media is abuzz with analyses of Goldman Sachs's settlement with the SEC for $550 million in a case of alleged fraud regarding the packaging and selling of a CDO called Abacus. Goldman Sachs admitted to no wrongdoing. The settlement is less than Tiger Wood's potential $700 million divorce settlement -- and Tiger didn't help bring the economy to its knees (he also publicly admitted his transgressions and expressed regret) -- but it's a start.
