The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think. Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: John Washburn https://norunnyeggs.com/2009/04/theres-no-way-out-of-tarp-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-37273 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:53:44 +0000 https://norunnyeggs.com/?p=5490#comment-37273 You know the report by Goldman Sachs of $1.8 billion profit in the first quarter of 2009 is fraudulent, but legal.

The GSB’z (Goldman-Sachs Boyz) redefined their fiscal year so that December 2008 is in neither Fiscal Year 2008 nor in Fiscal Year 2009.

Needless to say it is easy to post $1.8 billion in profits when you can claim all the revenue funnelled in via the AIG money Paulson/Geithner used to bailout AIG credit default swap (CDS) contracts and NOT report any of the $1.3 billion in write-downs Goldman Sachs reported in December 2008.

I posted the details of this over at Washburn’s World.
