SEC Charges Goldman Sachs with Billion-Dollar Fraud…At Last
A lot of Americans on both the left and the right have been wondering if the bankers and Wall Street investors who caused the economic collapse that began in 2008 would ever have to pay the price for what they did to the country. Goldman Sachs employees and their families were the leading corporate donors to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and Obama has not been shy about including former Goldman Sachs employees in his administration. Records also show that Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner spent more time last year talking with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein than he did with the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Christopher Dodd. So it came as a pleasant surprise on Friday when news broke that the Obama administration is finally seriously cracking down on the financial community for the first time.
