I hope you stay on this until it explodes, as it should. I’m amazed that only a few seem interested. In my uneducated in-the-world-of-finance mind, this is a monster of a problem for GS. Maybe we are so broke everywhere else that we can’t afford the trials it will take to put these guys away. I would think that the SEC would jump on this and take this gigantic squid down and put its tentacles in shackles for life or at least 150 years. I loved your squid analogy so I use it whenever possible. But I am sincere, I hope that you will relentlessly dog this hi fi criminal until some people who can actually do something about it become interested and take action. They already would have if it had been some ordinary schmuck, some computer guru working out of his garage. He’d be gone.

[...] the nearly two months since the article was first published Taibbi has all but gone to war, rebutting silly counter charges all while mirthfully pointing out that no one from Goldman or any [...]

Never say you can’t understand the crazy stuff these guys spin from straw. It’s nothing more than basic math with lots of obtuse terms and ruses. Anyone who wants to know can find out up to the point where the government and these bums confloat. Like getting rid of the M3 money supply measurement in 2006 just when it looked like M3 was about to reach a slope of 1. (The Brits still think it wise to watch how much funny money we can gin up regularly.) Volcker taught me as an eleven year old that an over sized money supply equals the recession from hell. Copper was seven fold higher compared to only four times this last bubble. He jacked the Fed rate so high to stop inflation, everyone was squealing. Helped lose Carter the White House, but Volcker cared more for country than party. Where have they got him locked up?

Not that I want you to let-up on GS, but this looks to me like a change in the reporting standards, rather than eliminating the report?

While I admire the work that ZH does, it does have a tendency to come across as an unhinged conspiracy website.

Keep up the incredibly good work…..

how chinese of them. this reminds of something from krugmans’ blog from a few weeks ago where he notes that analysts looking at energy use saw spectacular dips, leading them to conclude that economic activity in china was declining at far higher levels than admitted by the central government. the government’s response was to quit publishing the data.
