Max Keiser: "Goldman Sachs Are Scum"
"They are literally stealing a hundred million dollars a day. Goldman Sachs is stealing every day on the floor of the exchange. They should be in the Hague, they should be taken on financial terrorism charges. They should all be thrown in jail"
Well, at least one person says what he thinks.

When I see something like this on American TV then I'll be happy.
Keiser clearly plays on the emotions of people who always believe that if you have wealth, then it must be stolen. He is just trying to sell himself (his films, books, his hedge fund, etc.). Be careful of these types of people- he my be bashing some publicly held company (like Goldman Sachs), try to cause a panic, all-the-while being short that companies stock - making millions.
Much of what he says is a stretch of the truth, if not dead wrong. Also, he glossed over several facts that would weaken his position.
Talking heads with negative opinions somehow have more credibility- they seem to have "vetted the topic" more-so than those with positive things to say. But they do have an agenda!! And I will bet it is not altruistic.
Think about it- all.
It's people like you who need a good kickin'
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S WRONG!
Your pathetic defense of GS is pure BS.
Max was a trader on wall st. for over 25 years and developed the virtual specialist technology. I think his basis is pretty well established for saying that goldman sachs is front running and cheating people through high frequency trading.
And when the people that produce nothing manage and control those that do the actual work how can you say that their wealth is not stolen? It is inherently set up to do that. You only have to work at a couple companies to even realize this.
Anyway, Max Keiser is right, what's wrong with that ?
GS execs appear to have committed multiple crimes.
Crime does not pay.
Criminals go to jail and the money will be returned w/o question.
If Obama does not prosecute GS - the American people as well as global citizens - will take the law in their own hands.
I really like this Max character. He's got spunk.
What was fun about that video is that Max is being interviewed with a stuffy professor who is trying his hardest to be serious, and make serious comments about the financial system. In truth, the prof was taking nonsense and the wild-eyed Yank was making sense. The world is upside down right now.
Ha! Good point! Funny....
Lol, Max Kaiser ftw! (and with a name like Max Keiser, why not?)
If he feels he is owed $10,000 from GS, why didn't he buy 100 shares of the stock in March?? He would have made that, and more.
He is just mad because he shorted it, looking to make $$ if the price drops- and the opposite happened!!
This guy is quite a sophisticated investor. And promoter. Beware of what he says!!
Yo, Roubini has turned coat tails and started to get on his knees for Paulson, Volker and Obama! I'd love to see the info y'all have on that.
ROFL!!! Great find Tyler..... Freaking Awesome!!!
unfortunately, over here in america, all the media can talk about is michael jackson, and if you turn it the business channell, CNBC, all they talk about is porn.
Ain't that the truth. And then the sheeple will cry out that no one told them it was coming...
Britney & Paris are all worn out, so now it's Jackson and whoever has been wronged by this same MSM. Whatever it takes to keep folks talking about anything other than the trillions going to GS and Associates.
Great clip. But it will never show up American TV.
American TV is meant to pussificate the American public. Make them suffer so that their minds don't wander in the direction of what really matters in this country.
pussificate. nice.
but true. keep the serfs dumb and numb,
great Carlin word, pussificate
Great guy that Max. Works with AlJezeera ....
Worse.. His show is on Iran's Press TV.
!!IRAN!!
Though, he has done work for AJ before. And France 24, BBC.. He doesn't seem to last long wherever he lands.
Thats because naked truth doesn´t sell that well and might upset some people.You need balls to put someone like Max on air which Iran Press TV seems to have.
Max = Tyler Durden??
"MARK IT ZERO,DUDE"
Pssh, Goldman is exactly what we need - if we let them give even bigger bonuses eventually it will trickle down to the rest of us. It's supply-side Reaganomics in action!
Maybe we should cut their taxes too. Because rich people are the ones who create jobs, dontcha know?
Yea that's it.
"MARK IT ZERO, DUDE"
Wow, hope that man gets more coverage!
Marla you must take that down now! You are in violation of Copyright law!
-Goldman Sachs
Here watch me violate Ludwig Von Fagg
That dude had better get himself a security detachment and a condo in Antarctica, pronto. Vlad Putin and Goldman Sachs don't cotton to that sort of tirade, and somebody is going to drop some polonium in his sushi if he doesn't shut the fuck up. TD, you ought to keep tabs on that dude, in fact, I'd like to buy a life insurance policy on him right now. I'll call it credit default swap. Do you think GS will be my counterparty?
update: oh dear, this guy is a truther? oh, my. Tyler, please... credibility fail...
-------------
The 9/11 commission has already admitted that they knew at least 1/4th of their "intelligence" was coerced by torture and likely false. So if you're not highly skeptical you're pretty much a moron; part of the problem, etc. To be specific: if you are not calling for a completely new investigation you are complicit and utter scum.
Your own words reveal your absence of thought, reasonableness, and basic respect for other human beings. They deserve no reply. I was at the Towers not long after 9/11 and I smelled the rubble personally. I can't visit Saint Paul's Chapel without breaking into tears. Believe what you want, but don't you dare try to impose your beliefs through coercion and intimidation. Not to a New Yorker.

[kilroy]
i've opened my eyes, and while not personally smelling the rubble, the non-truther argument has two giant wholes.
i) How do two planes take down three buildings?
ii) How do skyscrapers fall at the speed of gravity?
Froggy -
Is your Obama painting by Jim Fives?
I'm a fan of his.
That was also my first thought: telling the truth is not much appreciated by the financial sector maffia. His days are probably numbered. I bet more on some unexplainable car accident. Anyway he has definetely my symphaty by pointing out quite sharply a number of crucial issues that are really behind the current mess.
If Vlad is up to him then security won't help, yet I bet if polonium ever end up in Maxes tea it would be from friends in his own country.
Notice how Dennis Kneale does not ask Max to come on his show?
Dennis Kneale only wants kissy kissy guys to come to his shows, where he dominates them like a dominatrix with his silly blather.
Did he REALLY say Building 7 WTC ?
Yes. He did. He's on team skeptical.
You can tear-up contracts or you can blow them up. Demolition simplifies negotiation.
i'm also on Max's team skeptical

Quite a "Max Meltdown".
Funny watching the professor's face while Max is shrieking about putting the GS boys on trial in the Hague. He was cringing.
you're illiterate ... it is spelled The Hague, not the Hague, because in dutch Den is translated into The and because it is part of the name it is written The not the ... sorry grammar nazi ... oh yeah ... and good job max ..
You are annoying. You also did not capitalize the first word of your first sentence, you ignorant F*cker.
Max has been on that show before so they knew what they were getting.
the whole establishment is run by thieves.
from obama on down.
we don't stand a chance
Not supporting the current administration here, but this has been a long time coming. It is not just one administration that has let this happen. Goldman knows no republicans or democrats. It only knows blood money.
This guy is a nut!
powned
Roubini to appear on Dennis Kneale's show tonight. They will be celebrating the end of the recession.
Maybe they provide reviews of some good porn.
Lets face it, the US is an oligopoly run by Wall Street who owns congress along with the SEC and the rest of the government. The SEC has no incentive to ever investigate GS or any other IB because they know when they leave the SEC they will have a nice 7 figure salary waiting for them. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting robbed while watching American Idol and eating 2000 calorie shit paddies with a side of fries.
Hey wouldn't you like it too. Being a goombah to the mafia boss. I would love it. I am all for plundering and pirating. The biggest sword wins.
SUPER-SIZE fries... dontcha know.
With Goldman Sachs interrupting the order processing system inside the NYSE computers. And NYSE security looking the other way.
Gimme them SUPER-SIZE fries !
Max took the words right out of my mouth. Amen Max.
This guy seems a touch too psychotic...
Cheers,
Markus
This interview is bs. I know ppl on this blog don't like Goldman - but seriously this is getting a little out of hand.
What's getting out of hand ? People waking up to Goldman Sachs or you worried that your long position in GS may someday be worthless ?
Once you realize financial crimes lead directly to mass human death and suffering through impoverishment I'd say any reaction is reasonable. Max states the same ideas every week on his radio show.
HEAR-HEAR.
Tyler your identity revealed
To everyone posting to/reading this blog - for the love of all that is just and holy in this world, call your Senator and Congressional Representative and express your unbelievable outrage at everything GS is doing.
The only way to do anything in this country is to rise up and do it yourself.
-Oso.
You are right about all of that. People think it doesn't matter if you call your elected officials, but it does. WE are the government, they are "representatives." They are not doing their job and we must remind them that they are not royalty.
Yes, Oso, but, unfortunately, we became a banana republic when TARP passed because it was passed even though each of our elected officials were totally swamped with the majority of their constituents objections and strict refusal to support this legislation. So, we have to continue to object, but we also, need to keep talking to each other in support of our own freedom, liberty and justice. And figure out how to replace all these elected officials who were willing be bought and to vote for whatever they want instead of representing their constituents.
Are you kidding? Goldman Sachs paid good money for those Senators to give them the power to steal with impunity. Our public servants are feckless prostitutes who will sell the power we give them to the highest bidder.
This is an argument for a less powerful government and the maintenance of rule of law. Of course, that's exactly the opposite of what we're getting and the opposite of what Max is calling for. So, bend over and try to think of Mom and Apple pie and try not to think too much about the Constitution.
BINGO
Well the Constitution gives Goldman Sachs freedom of speech as the corporation has attained the status of personhood. That's how money can flow from the corporations (or you) to the politician.
Should we amend the Constitution or should we let Goldman Sach takeover completely by watering down the government?
#8044 how is this getting out of hand? can you argue or refute any of the points discussed. don't shoot the messenger.
I love it.....certainly must be a coincidence that NYSE pulled
the daily program trading report just before this latest
rigging in the stocks so no one will see what's going on.
I'm sure there are many many out there (this site not
included) who think the government would never "do that".
Lie and cheat.....nahhhhh! Pass this around to those
whom need some convincing...it's very pertinent...about
Levy and Distraint: http://famguardian.org/TaxFreedom/Instructions/3.5EducateFinInst.htm
It shows what the government will do to "con" us all. Go to
the embedded links for backup. It's all in the way they word
things. Like the latest about the recession is over....sure,
that's because the depression just started.....first inning!
Well done!

Appearance with Dennis Kneale has been postponed.
COME ON GUYS GOLDMAN INSIDERS HAVE BEEN SELLING STOCK. THEY KNEW THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED. THEY DON'T CARE. THEY WILL TAKE THE $2M BONUS AND MOVE ON.
welcome US @ A. I like a kazakstan. I like US@ A. Our contrys very similars. Both have only 3 major problem: economica, transport, and goldmans. We put retard in cage in kazakstani. You should put a goldmans also in cage.
The race is on. The US Gov. is try to hide their big
mistakes by starting a huge campaign against swiss
banks and their US customers. The question is now
what is more expensive for the US taxpayer, the money
on swiss bank accounts from US citizens, or this
absolutely incredible mess Mr. Paulson and the GS troopers
are doing to financial markets. The french fry home boy
OMG, president of what? says GS warned? of course they
warned, they were sitting on Billions of worthless
papers, bought from Merrill Lynch. Thats when the
Game started, to get this dozens of billions of CDO's
from ML of GS books. What follows, is the biggest Crime
in Financial History. What is happening on Wall Street with
the Gov. and GS right now, is unbelievable.
But after all, every citizen get's the Gov. he deserves.
Thats what we shall call, Demo crazy or Democracy
Max Keiser the new American hero. He called Goldman sheisters. This is a real journalist. You wont hear this guy in America. This should played repeatedly on CNN, CNBC, Bloom, NYTimes. This guy is going to pay for this. I wouldnt be surprised if there is a goldman death-squad already assembled for this decent man.

CNBC and Bloomberg? Are you kidding? not gonna happen.
good reads http://www.bit.ly/12NCJR...
This is how it ends...
Max's credibility isn't very high, so I seriously doubt GS loses any sleep over it. That doesn't mean that what he said wasn't true.
Max's credibility as opposed to the Congress or the Executive branch ?? I will take Max's any day.
I'm guessing what you meant was he doesn't have a large enough following for GS to notice. That to ignorant masses he seems to have low credibility, when in fact he's one of the best financial truth tellers out there.
Groucho Marx meets Inspector Clouzot.
B R A V O !!
Never get that on American TV!!
Hell will freeze over before you see that om american TV.
Amazing.. not what he said but the fact that I never knew of him until now. Instant fan!
Per http://maxkeiser.com/about/ Max's e-mail is: max ~ at ~ maxkeiser ~ dot com is his e-mail.
I suggest sending him kudos for having the balls to step up! Hope I am not out of line Tyler for posting this!

My favourite Max Keiser podcast (December 18 2008)
Max and Stacy are back 18 December 2008 to talk about the NY Times report on the real bonuses paid to Wall Street bankers on fake profits. Bernie Madoff, ponzi schemes and gold.

Stealing right in front of your eyes and they know nothing you can do about them.
All the while Obama doing his "Change" - Change the topics everyday.
i read all this posts and nobody has the balls to say it!! americans are geting poorer by the day,while the JEWS that control everything(incliding obama) are getting richer and richer...
after 7:00 minutes in the video max lost all credibility.
WRONG! At the 7:00 point he finally puts the proper label on what happened with the railroading of trillions of dollars into the banking system instead of taking one day to ask for authority to unwind LEH, MER, GS, MS and C if they didn't find any buyers...TREASON....the word has been in my head since the day that the secret meeting was made to pass out tarp money...it is so obvious but since most Americans can't understand CDS, SIV's and all the rest, they are held hostage to do whatever they are told. Even in today's testimony paulson threw out the old broken record that what he did was preferable to the alternative-- who's alternative, banking interests, yes, but how about all the smaller banks that are clean, and ready for a good deal which is what they could have had if they had bought MER, GS, MS, and C for cheap. Instead, BAC is blackmailed into paying 80% of a solvent BAC share for every MER share, and we are left wondering where trillions of dollars have gone, and all of our debtors are wondering how the US, the country that they trusted as their reserve currency, could have allowed such corruption.
Max: Marry me.
me too.
Kilroy- I am sorry that you have suffered but how does you smelling the rubble at Ground Zero invalidate the hypothesis that a fifty story steel framed skyscraper could not collapse into its own foot print at nearly free fall speed without help from either a jetliner or explosives? WTC7 was not hit by a plane but it was the third steel framed sky scraper in history to suffer total collapse as a result of "fire damage". The first two.... WTC1 & 2.

I hope someone makes a transcript of this available.
Max Keiser is a true patriot. A new "Minuteman".
There's others, but Max is surely amoung those in the forefront leading the charge.
And the enemy? Well it's not some gook, commie, rag head, poppy grower. Not at all, the true enemies/terrorists to Americans .....are Americans. That wealthy oligarchy that managed to get the FED instituted one xmas holiday-eve in Congress 100 years ago. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are the current incarnation of that evil empire.
They are our true enemies. Wake up America.
For your own salvation, Rise up against them!
I think his anger is misdirected. "Goldman Sachs 'co-opted' this that or the other"? Goldman Sachs can only co-opt the government if the politicians are willing to sell their power to the highest bidder.
He has this backwards. The government conferred upon Goldman Sachs the power to steal. The only power Goldman Sachs has comes from the government, not the other way around.
Goldman also didn't steal anything from from taxpayers - the government is the only one that has that power.
The Federalists have given Wall Street the whole she-bang friends. Google it... Federalist Party
Now if only more American citizens would have balls like Max. Sadly, despite all their ammo purchases and overt displays of bravado, America is a nation of pussies.
Where have you been Gordon! I missed you!
thanks for your mostly supportive comments and thanks for your non-supportive comments. it's all good. I will be posting my interview with Karl Denninger on my ON THE EDGE show later today. We talk about GS in greater detail than is possible in a show like FACE OFF for France24

Observation. Halliburton must be all "sweet, Goldman Sach's is on the hot seat now."
"Team Skeptical" and "Truther"? You're on team skeptical if you deny what your eyes see. I and about 90% of the Non-brainwashed Americans in the world saw a controlled demolition along with everyone else. If you choose to "see" something else, you're the conspiracy theorist. You believe terrorists conspired to make a once-in-history steel structure collapse from an oxygen-starved diesel fire (WTC 7) in a way that looked exactly like a controlled demolition. Amazing! I'm sticking with the facts. You can stick with your government "truth" handouts.
BTW note the mice fighting on the TV broadcast behind Max at 1:05. (yeah yeah I know they're not mice)

something shifty about old Max. I mean he worked for Al Jezeera? Have we now gone over to the dark side?
Sorry, Keiser has more credibility than anyone of the American cable business "experts.''
He was a year ahead of the game when it came to predicting Iceland's demise.

This is great stuff! I like the Cliff Asness piece too.
A++ on this one.
Max may be hysterical, but his brain is sharp as a razor, cutting through crap and telling the truth as it is . Kudos and power to him!
Gary North's "Honest Money" (I'm no admirer of religion in any form, but getting down to the nuts and bolts of economics brings out the essentail truths and where things start to go wrong) shows pretty clearly what needs to be done: no more money creation rights by government: No creation, no legal tender, just a specification of tax money and the upholdance of honesty in money creation by private people (which is in government's and all people's interest since the tax depends on it).
Max Keiser has long been my hero :)I must find one of his interviews which is pretty amazing from 2006. Talk about getting things right.
Anyone here seen this gem with Dennis Kneale:

The Federal government ceded power to NYSE by making this Exchange a Self Regulated Organization. That status -- SRO -- does not abrogate U.S. Code, but you would hardly know it from the institutional SEC and DoJ/USAO cowardices. As matters stand, today, private organizations led by Goldman Sachs routinely interfere with the NYSE bid/offer system, working from the inside. The "take" is estimated at $21,000,000,000 a year. *** This is not done by software burglary, "pirate" code, but apparently by misuse of NYSE's Direct Market Access software through co-located computers and possible misuse of Goldman's Special Liquidity Provider security accesses. Criminal information theft and RICO interference with financial markets has been ignored, so far, with NYSE's SRO status as the sole excuse. *** Meanwhile, you do not want to be a New Jersey mayor -- where they'll send out "contributors" looking to do $10,000 "contributions" as bribery. Gotta bash them nasty criminals....
Dum-Dumblievers
go back to sleep and get out of truthers way.
Typical double-think, truth is (bad-lies-insane).
You Dum-Dumblievers are pathetic, the criminals will pay, then we will take care of you Dum-Dumblievers.
Max Keiser is right on the money. Private Central Banking and companies like Goldman Sachs are, in fact, scumbags. They are the worst terrorists in the world today. This is where the war on terrorism has to take place. Get rid of the "G20". There is no transparency in these private central banks. They need to be audited and elected. Last time I checked, we are supposed to be living in a democracy!
Max Keiser is a moron. Being the loudest on the set and being the most obnoxious does not replace credibility, logic or truth.
A typical leftist dufus, that works for Iran, Al-Jazeera and Russian TV. Of course he will be screaming about "financial terrorism" and other such nonsense.
Tehran and Moscow appreaciate this garbage being put out by a "financial consultant".
