Or keeps his team waiting, or so much as suggests they submit to such pedestrian measures as the signing of a nondisclosure agreement prior to rifling around another firm’s underwear drawer. I’m not going to go so far as to say rookie moves like this are why Bear Stearns no longer exists but I’m not not going to say it. And a future note to those of you who may find yourselves in the throes of a weekend bailout at some point in the near future– if you should so much as dare not have bagels and lox waiting upon the Goldman guys’ arrival, along with your entire prop desk book on scented paper, you’ll be looking at the business end of a hissy fit to end all hissy fits. I am not fucking around on this point. I swear to god you people sicken me. Buy a vowel.

what a bunch of assholes
“I’m not going to go so far as to say rookie moves like this are why Bear Stearns no longer exists but I’m not not going to say it.”
What kind of an asinine sentence is this?
You meant “rookie sentence” right?
@2- you’re an idiot.
@2- you’re pretty stunningly stupid. it’s really something to behold.
@2- um, it’s actually a pretty standard joke. “im not going to say x, but i’m not not going to say x.” is this your first day on planet earth?
@2 – Die already.
@6 — Thanks. I’m Swiss so I guess it was lost in translation!

@2- you need to eat a dick, as does goldman sachs.
honestly, who the fuck do they (gs) think they are? assholes.
Sounds like the GS guys were just chillin and using it as a good excuse to get away from the desk for a bit, maybe snag some free grub and such
@ 11 — yes, over the weekend they just wanted to get off the desk.
This may be a dumb question…
Is that Jacob Goldfield the same one that allegedly used Goldman’s access to LTCM’s books to allegedly short LTCM’s positions into the ground? Or is this a different Jacob Goldfield?
Is this Jacob Goldfield the same former-Goldman trader that allegedly downloaded LTCM’s positions during Goldman’s possible buyout of the fund and allegedly used that data to short LTCM into oblivion? Or is this a different Jacob Goldfield?
“I suppose you expect us to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
what an asshole.
@14/15
the question isn’t dumb, the double post is
Umm…what are you doing?
I dunno. What are you doing?
Beats me. What are yoiu doing?
Can’t answer that. What are you doing?
World class dealmakers right there.
why does it mean when a word is crossed out in the text
@16
what are you whining about? they held all the cards, why be nice?
@20- are you joking? on what planet does someone think they’re not beholden to a NDA if they want full access to someone’s books?
@19
it means that if you wonder what it means your dick will shrink 2 inches. hope you have some left.
i’m not not licking toads
@22 – #19 here….got plenty to spare.
-Not actually #19
Well that is it! I am not inviting GS to any of my Saders
Rule #1 in trading: Never stay in a losing position so long that you have to show your books to your competitors.
@8 dont be swiss
fake jew@25- it’s sEder, tard.
@21 a planet on which the propriety of the information contained in said books is going to be worth exactly zero in less than 24 hours when the firm goes bankrupt.
I heard Warren ran into the same schoolyard crap when he sent Charlie over to check out Goldman. No Cherry Coke and whatnot.
@21
its not a law that you need to sign an NDA now is it?
28,
So when you’re not home and you’re somewhere kind of newish, the odds are, don’t look far, ’cause they’re Jewish too.
-Don’t Make Me Kutz a Bitch
WhereTF would Goldman be today were it not for TARP, and more importantly, for their conversion into a “regular” bank?
I dare say they’d be Bear/Lehman, Jr.
The Guy from Delaware
All I have ever wanted to do since I was a child is to bang a secretary in her ass on the rooftop of 85 Broad at sunset.
A boy with a dream.
LOL at all the former Bear workers commenting.
@2 – what’s worse is the line, “… were summoned to meet with the them…” at the top of page 201.
Did no one proofread this thing?
@33 — You’re a tool. GS is no where near the cesspool of scum that Lehman and Bear were.
GS and MS will still be around in another 100 years from now.
I sincerely hope that GS and MS fade away into oblivion within a decade. GS employees are full of themselves, and I would gladly see that firm battered to shit.
Please let it happen, or better yet let Jamie Dimon make it happen.
- JPM employee
All what GS traders wanted to do is to have access to Bear’s boobs. Why the hate?
@38: Jealous much?
Anyone see the youtube vid of all the spineless little GS bastids knockin over old ladys costanza style in from of 85 broad the day yobama did the AF1 fly-by? good x and a proud day for the MOTU’s
so what does it mean when you strike out text?
@41 link?
JC Flowers was playing GS off against Bear and no one knew the score.Earlier reports had Bear skeptical about Flowers, and seems, they had good reason.However, Cohn is an asshole for taking that stand;he’s a total vulture,so when his name appeared as key player in marking down BSAM CDO assets and Bear cried foul, Bear had good reason to think that Goldman would push BSC to the brink if they could.
Why should anyone doubt that they didn’t now refuse their repos and help to fuel the run on the house,although Cohn and Blankfein deny it?
@41 link or its not true
bear stearns more like dare to earn
The Guy From Delaware
JC Flowers lost his mojo prior to the BSC fiasco.
@31, yes there is, it’s called the Sherman Act.
@31, Regulation FD, among others.
How is this an antitrust situation? Reg FD seems more relevant….
@12/13
Clearly you don’t know anyone who works or has worked @ Goldman.
Here’s a hint: Lots of people work on the weekends, apparently you’re not in that group, either.
@anal_yst- just admit defeat. you’re a big enough man.
Why sign a standard CA if its low probability? Most CAs disallow hiring of anyone from the target company.
@52
Admit defeat over what? Sure maybe they were actually enjoying their weekend, maybe they were working anyway, who knows, do you?
When I got invited back for my second round at Goldman I achieved an erection that lasted longer than four hours.
