Confidential To Mike Morgan: We’ve Got What You Want Right Here

By Bess Levin

By now you’ve likely heard about blogger Mike Morgan, proprietor of Facts about Goldman Sachs, which can be found at www.goldmansachs666.com. The site was founded on March 26, 2009, in Morgan’s words, as “an open forum for facts and discussion about what part Goldman Sachs and their executives played in the current Global Economic Crisis,” which Goldman apparently does not like! The bank is currently attempting (unsuccessfully) to silence Mikey-boy, issuing a cease and desist, a request which has so far gone unmet. The brave young (or old, I have no idea) blogger has vowed to fight the power, and is holding a conference call Wednesday at 6PM to discuss “objectives and how you can help as a volunteer” (anonymous crotch shots of Blankfein to the tips line).
According to Morgan, “I’ve had advice from some of the best intellectual property lawyers, and I know exactly what I can and can’t do. We’re not going to back down from this.” He added that if GS does figure out a way to shut him down, he has “a number of other domain names registered.” But does he have goldmansucksthebigone.com? I think not. We’re rooting for the li’l fella here, but in the event Lloyd successfully puts him in a sleeper hold, all we’re saying is, make us an offer.

    For someone alleging such power and influence of GS, clearly, he does not understand (if he’s correct) how epically fucked he is.
    Cognitive Disso-what?

    I, for one, fully support Mike Morgan and his efforts to empower minorities.

    I like Goldman’s complaint that the blogger is “unfairly competing” with Goldman. Um, yeah. What a bunch of whiners.

    I’m going short this guy. if he were a real baller, he’d have the call at 11:00 tomorrow morning on top of the GS earnings call. plenty of time to review the results scheduled for release at 8:30.

    Too bad he’s only attracting comments from complete lunatics and rightwing paranoids. A site taking critical looks at GS is much needed.

    totally wrong. If Ms. Waters was supporting/running the site it would have been goldsach666.internet

    oops, gs released the earnings early – pricing $5 bn of stock to pay back barney and the gang. also noted that comp expense was up 18% while employees were down 7%, I believe that’s a big FU to maxine and her fear of fees…
