The best financial tabloid readers in the world (that's you) aren't buying Goldman's Made-off denial. Some of the comments we've gotten include:
"Guess my memory of 7 years ago isn't what it used to be. They are being disingenuous though. They did extensive due diligence on Tremont repping other buyer, side by side with Oppenheimer. Their buyer, Rabo or ABN, made multiple offers before dropping out."
"Goldman is full of shit. Their client put multiple bids in. What a bunch of hacks."
"Either Mr. Du Vally was not around in 2001 or he is misinformed. Goldman's client made several bids on Tremont before Opp. won the bidding. They lost they auction - they were an active bidder."
"I think Goldman is engaging in a bit of revisionist history. This is too bad because it is an easy lie to catch them in."
We quote, you decide.

The fundamentals are sound!
Thank you,

Lets all act shocked that GS has many things to hide.
Firsty!

Mike Duvally, "Goldman Sach did not have due diligence relations with the that firm..."

@8
Cut the revisionist clap trap. We know who's first.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:30PM
We can now add the word Du Vally to the DB lexicon, as in Goldman's 2nd Q results laid another steaming Du Vally.

Fourteenth!

@12 - You're right, as long as Goldman looks foolish, everybody wins. I like that.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:38PM
Goldmanspeak brought to you by DuVally. War is peace.

I thought Du Valley was an importer / exporter.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:40PM
can't find on BB... therefore he doesn't exist
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:44PM
Wait, I thought GS employees weren't allowed to read/comment on DB. Why is it that these GS-related posts generate a disproportionately high amount of comments?
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:46PM
@19- Because the server is in the Ukraine.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:48PM
Wow, Goldman has Madoff on its face.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:50PM
@19 - Because GS assclowns like DuVally say stupid shit.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:50PM
@19- have you noticed they're all about how gs sucks and likely aren't coming from inside gs?
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 3:51PM
Was the author being sneaky on purpose or not:
Possibility #1: Showing posession (could be read "The Memory of Goldman is being challenged")
Possibility #2: Making a statement (could be read "Goldman is memory challenged")
I choose #2!
I'll give the author the benfit of the doubt.

@24:
Shut up and go back to studying for the GMAT.

Don't work @ GS

Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 4:24PM
Not working @ NYC

@26
Working at GS is the new equities in Dallas.

This is how the Internet is changing how business is done and what people deserve or don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Because Monica Noel says they live in a "cottage" and her kids went to public school - debunked. Because Goldman lackey says GS' client did not bid on FGG - debunked. All in a matter of moments. 10 years ago, it would have taken an investigative reporter and a lot of effort to get the "real" story out. Awesome.

@29 2002 called. It wants its punchlines and "paradigms" back...

Make like a tree and leave.
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 4:56PM
Does anyone know if Du Valley fishing is expensive? What if I run into a good salesman?
Posted by guest , Dec 22, 2008 4:59PM
@32 LMAO
