    The bank confirmed Aziz McMahon, head of emerging market sales, has left — he made a ‘substantial sum’ according to some reports
    A Goldman Sachs managing director has left the investment bank after reportedly making millions investing in cryptocurrency dogecoin.

    A spokesman for Goldman confirmed Aziz McMahon, a managing director and head of emerging market sales based in London, has left the investment bank where he has worked for 14 years. But the spokesman told MarketWatch he had no knowledge of the investment in dogecoin.

    The Guardian newspaper reported McMahon made the money investing on his own personal account and wasn’t involved in trading cryptocurrencies for Goldman Sachs. While not much is known about the amount McMahon reportedly made, the newspaper cites unnamed sources claiming it was a “substantial sum.”

    It is thought McMahon, who says he studied at Trinity College Dublin on LinkedIn, may be starting a hedge fund, according to efinancialcareers, which was first to report the story.

    McMahon has been contacted for comment.

    OMG!!! No matter the US inflation is through the roof. Nobody really wants to work, not even somebody who's working for Goldman Sachs who's prob. paid six figures. If you can't even make somebody who's paid six figures to work for you, no wonder manufacturers can't find any workers.

    7 figures and he’s probably looking to earn 8 or 9.
