Funny how we say Goldman "is ensnarled in scandal" rather than "perpetuated a vast fraud".

Almost makes it sound as if the real news isn't their reprehensible actions, but the fact that they got caught! (Or even that the government is slowing them down with annoying charges).

The question is to what extent this is institutional rather than fraudulent actions of a few individuals. It probably is institutional, of course, but innocent until proven guilty and all that.
Well, what do you expect from Goldman Sachs at this point? If they were, at any point in the last 10 years, probably in the clear that'd be shocking.

The only reason the people working there don't feel the need to stand up when they hear Eminem is that they're not slim enough.
