Goldman Sachs Facing (Yawn!) Another Lawsuit

And so the parade of lawsuits marches onward apace.  We know the story:  Goldman will make a deal to pay a fine without ever admitting any wrong doing; Blankfein will reach into his office piggy bank to pay the fine; the bank does  not miss the money; they do not care about a reputation that is beyond redemption; they got away with the fraud---again.

Here is a better idea:  Goldman should send its CEO and CFO to Greece to visit the park wherein a poor pensioner killed himself because he did not have the means with which to live.  Goldman bears a lot of responsibility for the predicament that is Greece.  Go to the funeral. Mr. Blankfein, think about your sins and try to cry a few tears for all those lives that you have ruined through your greed and your search for unlimited wealth.

Goldman underwrote about $11.1 billion of the certificates, and Deutsche Bank roughly $14.2 billion, the regulator has said.
