Goldman Sachs Chief Blankfein Apologizes for Role in Crisis http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aeV9jwqKKrEw&pos=2
I don't understand some of the criticism, sounds more like envy. The $10 billion it was given last year under the taxpayer-funded Troubled Asset Relief Program, plus dividends was paid. What's the big deal ? Move on. ESD
The big deal is that they milked the tax payer (including your sorry ass) for billions and billions of dollars by becoming a bank holding company and once they no longer had any need for the tax payer they converted to a financial holding company so they could go back to their speculative ways. Speculation is fine as long as you accept the risk that comes with the profits. GS failed and their share price should be $0.
