The Foul Expertise of Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs knows every game in town:  They know how to juice up fees; they know how to avoid taxes; they know how to speculate on gold and oil; they know how to lobby for weak financial regulations; they know how to securitize sub-prime mortgages; they know how to defraud pension and savings funds; they know how to never have to admit to wrongdoing (even when they do wrong!); they know how to pay numerous fines that barely dint their profits; they know how to warehouse aluminum in order to jack up their fees; they know how to trade on insider information; they know how to use HFT to make profits trading and, finally, they know how to take advantage of tax havens. 

And, of course, Goldman Sachs does not know wrongdoing when it works for its clients!
