Default OMG Goldman Sachs charged with Fraud !

"The Commission brings this securities fraud action against Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("GS&Co") and a GS&Co employee, Fabrice Tourre ("Tourre"), for making materially misleading statements and omissions in connection with a synthetic collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") GS&Co structured and marketed to investors. "

tee hee

in leyman's terms, Goldmans organized structured credit derivatives with destined to fail Asset Backed securities and then traded short on them, knowing the probable outcome.

oo-ee - they've dropped 10% !

It will be nice to see some of the banks actually held accountable for this mess. Not sure if it will actually happen though

"As early as the summer of 2006, Goldman’s sales desk began marketing short bets using the ABX index to hedge funds like Paulson & Company, Magnetar and Soros Fund Management, which invests for the billionaire George Soros. John Paulson, the founder of Paulson & Company, also would later take some of the shorts from the Abacus deals, helping him profit when mortgage bonds collapsed. He declined to comment."

This is just a civil case isn't it?

So why no criminal charge?
