Dystopian response to the story of the guy who quite Goldman Sachs:
"In my opinion Smith sounds like a guy who is simply burned out and exhausted and was looking for an excuse to leave GS without admitting any personal weaknesses.
Having said that, GS is an appalling firm. A few years back they conspired with hedge fund guru John Paulson to sell crooked mortgage securities to clients when they knew these securities wered doomed to fail. They were complicit during the dot-com boom of hyping internet stocks when they had a vested interest in these stocks rising in value.
Furthermore, when oil spiked back in 2008 it was largely because their analysts came out with report after report justifying the high price of oil - without mentioning that GS was investing in oil.
Unfortunately, GS is too powerful for any politician to take on. This is not necessarily a bad thing for me. I'm a long term GS stockholder. I'm making a lot of money off their shenanigans."
