Isn't Goldman Sachs one of the most controversial financial companies on the Wall Street? What makes you think that GS is being bashed on jealousy and not for their unethical behavior?

I don't understand how is it possible to combine these two statements of yours into a coherent worldview:

> 1. People are simply bashing based on jealousy of more successful individuals in a different sector.

> 2. I prefer a rational approach to knee jerk sentimentality and sensationalism.

Either you have rational arguments that support [1] or your [2] statement is false and [1] is precisely what you claim you don't engage in -- sensationalism.

No, they're really not. HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, SAC and others have been found guilty of much more than Goldman Sachs.

You still didn't provide rational facts that HN users are criticizing GS out of jealousy.

And relative transgressions of GS to other banks doesn't matter at all. The list of controversies surrounding GS is really long: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldman_Sachs#Controversies
