The Financial Times Vindicates BoomBustBlog’s Stance On Goldman Sachs – Once Again!





Goldman out right lies to investors and the SEC, exactly as I said they were (in explicit and illustrious detail) throughout all of the financial crisis. Who wants to bet against the presumption that the SEC will let them get away with it?
