Your article doesn't support your point; it's Goldman's CEO complaining about other people manipulating LIBOR.

Goldman Sachs did not manipulate LIBOR because it's not even one of the banks that is asked for LIBOR submissions (they were an investment bank, not a commercial bank).

I'm all for bashing banks when it's appropriate, but it's our obligation to get the facts straight first.
