About damn time the Securities and Exchange Commission got their head out of their butt. It's also about time that these scum suckers that spent all our tax dollars start shouldering some of the responsibility for their own corrupt actions.

Did you see that Goldman is about to hand out 5 billion in bonuses?

Lifted this out of a news article.


SEC Vote On Goldman Was Split Along Party Lines

Bloomberg has a bombshell addition to the continuing saga of the Goldman Sachs prosecution. The SEC's commissioners voted 3-2 along party lines to prosecute Goldman over its Abacus deals -- the three Dems voted to charge and the two Republicans voted not to charge.

And now the Repubs threaten to filibuster reform of Wall Street and the big banks. ::)

Back in the late 90's through late 2001 the company I worked for did a lot of business with Goldman Sachs.  We built and installed their conference rooms, video and teleconference systems, etc.  We would spend weeks and months in New York and everyone on the team hated these bastards even then.  The most arrogant group of people I have ever met.  They were our biggest client so we just bit our tongues but a few got so fed up that they would purposely piss off a big shot so they would get kicked off the site and told to go back to Minneapolis.  The company would then send out someone else.  Would love to see some "perp walks" coming out of this. ;)

Man I hear you it's like they are walking into banks and stealing and walking right out and not even attempting to hide! Arrogant bastards. I hope they get theirs, if they don't I hope they get testicular cancer. I know that is effed up but I hates these fools.
