Clients Going To Goldman Sachs For Something Other Than Having Hair Stroked, Emotional Needs Met

By

“Goldman’s clients are telling the firm, ‘Yes, you make us money. Yes, you’re the best on the Street. But, no, I don’t trust you,’ ” said one source. “Goldman isn’t there to give you the warm and fuzzies,” said a executive at a rival bank. “But there’s a sense on the Street that you want them in your corner in a pinch.” [NYP]

    “But, no, I don’t trust you.”

    “But there’s a sense on the Street that you want them in your corner in a pinch.”

    Isn’t that the definition of trust?

    The Goldman safety net can be thought of this way…after they fuck you and have their way with you, they’ll give you the name of the best abortion doctor in town so you can discretely go “take care of things.”

    News like this could be a real blow to someone’s already fragile self-esteem.
    Is it because the firm can do that thing with its tongue?

    Are you really surprised? The firm is made up of great sharks (of all varieties). They are on call and ready to do business. The size of the wad the the factor. The rest is just white noise. Yes, attack dogs are befitting!
