I'm talking about a perfect world. Universal justice. These guys earn eight figures, and on top of that, when they can't pay their bills when due, rather than pony up their own funds, they have a red phone that dials straight in to the Dept. of the Treasury, and with no adverse consequence personally, apparently. I've never seen such a thing. They aren't even suffering any personal disgrace from what I can tell.

Why not head over to their house with pitchforks and torches? PS not a response to your post, per se, PAC

The hilarious thing is Goldman claiming its CEO met with AIG's CEO and Paulson to secretly arrange the AIG bail out not to save Goldman but for the good of the entire system! They think we're all stupid.

It seems very under reported, but large numbers of retail-level investors dumped a lot of money into financial stocks (perceived long-term players and conservative investments) who have lost all of their principle investment.

Did you read that article Waters posted over in Politics? Some dude's losing his fiance because, now that Lehman has folded, he's only worth "a couple 100K."
Is that enough to satisfy your blood lust?

It's a buyer's market for trophy wives right now in NYC. Get there quick. Bring small bills.

I think to let Goldman go under would be anti-semantic.

They've had lobbyists saying that they should still get their seven and eight figure bonuses out of the bail out money. These guys have a sense of entitlement that would make an old Soviet boss in his dacha blush.
