Old Man, This Time Sans Dog, Shoots Off Warning Signal To Goldman Sachs

By

hankgreenbergsnowflake.pngMaria Bartiromo: So you think Goldman is to blame for AIG?
Hank Greenberg: Oh yeah. And there’s more to come out.
Earlier: “We’re dealing with a jigsaw puzzle where all the pieces are not in the box. Bit by bit, we’re getting the pieces. The pieces are failing into place and the picture on the face of the puzzle is not a pretty picture.”

    Is he rumbling Goldman on behalf of PETA and Snowball or himself?

    Whilst I do believe Goldies are thieving scum, I do not buy all of Old Man Sans Dog's argument. He claims Goldman packaged crap and then bought protection off of AIG, knowing the sh%t stunk. Ok, that argument works for some of the crap, but did AIG have to insure all of it? Didn't they have counterparty limits that Goldman was clearly exceeding?
    Don't bark too loud, Old Man, because it will come back to bite you.

    this guy is f*cking amazing, instead of admitting that his guy (Cassano, and friends) were completely out of their league and he, himself, didn't know/care/do anything about it, he points the finger at GS, amazing…

    Everything would have been just fine, if that Ackman asshole hadn't dyed his eyebrows and then started trash talking the bond insurers.
    I blame everything on the guy with the unnaturally dark eyebrows.

    People also forget about the millions Ol' Greeny made of AIG stock through forward sale contracts before the stock blew up….and he is blaming GS? Sounds like he had a good idea of what was going on before s*** hit the fan.

    @5/Pfluger- Is that your way of telling us you're a Goldmanite? I know that speech.

  21. 21
    Posted by guest | January 15, 2010 at 1:33 PM

    The first part of that article is lol-tastic. Wah, wah – the ISDA made changes, the terms of the CDS's were too punitive. Look, if you don't understand the rules, don't play the game. (And AIG clearly didn't understand the rules)
    This is the interesting question:
    "When the government took over AIG, why did it insist that Goldman and other firms receive 100 cents on the dollar on their AIG exposure, while the terms of AIG's own bailout were so onerous as to force the firm into slow-motion liquidation?"
    I think part of the answer is that AIG was the "most-fucked" institution.
    And when you consider the alternative – let AIG fail like Lehman – it's not hard to see this as old man Greenberg looking a gift horse in the mouth.
    AIG was way TBTF, and there was no way anyone was buying it, so the government really had no choice. But to complain about it after the fact is bs.
    Also, not too difficult to see Hank's fingerprints (along with others) on the knife planted in Spitzer's career. In fact, given that Greenberg sat for this interview, this is pretty damn close to a brag. Which I kind of respect.

    I usually do not leave a response, but after browsing through a great deal of comments on Old Man, This Time Sans Dog, Shoots Off Warning Signal To Goldman Sachs Dealbreaker: Wall Street Insider – Financial News, Headlines, Commentary and Analysis – Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Banks. I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it just me or do some of the comments come across as if they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of all your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
