• Goldman Sachs Lost Money On The Transaction.

So? That doesn't mean Goldman Sachs was honest about the role of Paulson & Co. in the transaction. There are many reasons why Goldman Sachs may have breached its duty to disclose and still lost money.

• Goldman Sachs Never Represented to ACA That Paulson Was Going To Be A Long Investor. The SEC’s complaint accuses the firm of fraud because it didn’t disclose to one party of the transaction who was on the other side of that transaction. As normal business practice, market makers do not disclose the identities of a buyer to a seller and vice versa. Goldman Sachs never represented to ACA that Paulson was going to be a long investor.

Here's the crux of the case. But the SEC doesn't just accuse Goldman Sachs of failing to disclose the other side of the business transaction, it accuses Goldman Sachs of allowing Paulson to deliberately choose the riskiest investments, and failing to disclose Paulson's role in doing so, instead representing that an objective and uninterested party selected the investments.

bdballard: No no, god no! My sinuses will thank you not to encourage that.

Ezra: as well it would be a wish for permanent bailouts. Can't keep wishing us a good weekend and running the risk of us actually trying to have a good, and thus irresponsible, weekend the burden of which will undoubtedly end up on the backs of future generations. Commie. (*cough* you have a good weekend too *cough*)

Where are your asparagus and Meyer lemons flown in from, Klein?

Will lemon grass and shallots become the new civil right to which every American is entitled under the coming U.S. food control/obesity policy?

Or is all your talk about the unfair advantages that accrue to "the rich" just so much carefully calculated flatulence?

is it wrong to ask if any member of the SEC involved in the investigation or anyone in the administration sold stock in GS prior to the announcement of the investigation?

of course not!

Is it true that John Paulson is a major donor to Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee?

Why do I doubt that real Finance Regulation reform is possible!

Thanks, Ezra, for the link to food52. I'm having that salad for lunch today!

Ezra,

What did Dodd and Reid do for John Paulson in-exchange for the major campaign contributions?
I am fearful that they allowed him to have his say on financial regulatory reform!

It is odd to see how msoja always speaks of Ezra Klein in tones of such contempt, and yet he or she is also such a devoted fan of the blog that she or he even clicks through to a salad recipe in order to find out which variety of lemon to use.

But there certainly can be no doubt that when it comes to "carefully calculated flatulence," there is no person on Earth with greater first hand expertise than msoja.
