I liked the Antar article. yo...Johnson is insane.<br /><br />I liked the Antar article. you bet your ass that the goldman complaint itself and the timing on the release were done on purpose to give the prez lots of "ammo" to push his reform bill through and to shut down any complaints from the street (watch out or we'll go after you next like GS!)<br /><br />GS definitely should've kept more quiet about it.Yangabangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602946300256374843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-1403141050867111452010-04-19T07:54:52.749-04:002010-04-19T07:54:52.749-04:00KD - i think you are incorrect in your assessment ...KD - i think you are incorrect in your assessment of Simon Johnson.

I think I vomited in my mouth a bit before writing a post there in disgusted retort.<br /><br />It does reinforce my view that regardless of the law, GS is a bit screwed on this. If Simon Johnson thinks that Paulson is guilty of fraud for making a good trade, then how on earth is any judge (they've got their future to think about as well) or jury going to be more reasonable when it comes to the villified GS?<br /><br /><br />-PeterPeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-55573096160185367522010-04-18T20:25:35.558-04:002010-04-18T20:25:35.558-04:00Yeah, not sure what prompted Johnson to write stuf...Yeah, not sure what prompted Johnson to write stuff like that. I was cringing as I read it and kinda gave up halfway. I'll go to Zero Hedge for my daily dose of the OTT theatrics. <br /><br />Now that GS is finally in the cross-hairs, we need reasoned and rational commentary from the blogosphere, not madcap writing like that. Felix's recent post is a good example.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967068433164814493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-20759614456534771222010-04-18T19:08:51.878-04:002010-04-18T19:08:51.878-04:00KD,

He was on baord when this and much worse fraud was hatched and committed. Imagine a country that has a sleazy fraudster as Treasury Secretary and two war criminals as President and Vice-President, lecturing other countries on proper behaviour, and killing their citizens to enforce their will.Blurtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997520846655923035noreply@blogger.com
