Goldman Sachs Considering Punishing Richard Kimball For His Prudence, Joie De Vivre
Over a year ago, at the height of the campaign to Hate on Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein issued an edict to employees: "do not be seen living high on the hog." As a partner, Richard Kimball knew he had to set an example for the younger guys and girls and followed Blankfein's demands to a tee. When he threw “a series of” topless parties in the Hamptons, he did so in the privacy of his Southampton rental. When he enjoyed the company of some lady friends following his divorce from Pete Peterson's daughter Holly, he did so in the elevators of his building on Jane Street. And when he threw an alleged "naked-themed" Halloween party this October, we're told it went down at a "secret location" not disclosed to guests until 10PM that evening. Basically, he's showed the utmost of discretion, demonstrating to the rest of the firm how you show people a good time without making a spectacle. And yet.
According to the Post, Goldman has been considering de-partnering the Kimballer, a painful process that brings mental anguish and shame on the de-balled. Fingers crossed this is a vicious, baseless rumor, and that Lloyd and Co do the right thing.
