GOLDMAN SACHS' SECRET BETS
McClatchy's Greg Gordon reports that Goldman knew that mortgages were not being properly reviewed


Here Paul Jay interviews Gordon who explains that a five month McClatchy investigation has found that Goldman's failure to disclose those secret bets may have violated securities laws - that in 2006 and 2007, Goldman Sachs Group peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers that it also was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.

Hey Edger,

The world sucks because people suck. If they got eaten at birth, the world would be a better place. :( I just witnessed another blow up on another blog that I thought was, well whatever I thought I need to think it again. What is it with the blogers that I don't get? I feel like I'm in their pixel world playing a role they created, and I don't know anything about. I'm beginning to feel "used". Is it me?

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Who blew up, and where?
