I suppose I'm saying that Goldman is much better motivated and better equipped to steer the narrative, congressmen and capture various regulators than the regulators are equipped to actually regulate Goldman. If you're going to apply a bias, I'd suggest that one.
As far as what I think Goldman's been doing with regard to the SEC, I'd assume that they have several very smart and well-funded people continually looking for opportunities to get leverage over anyone, any way. I wouldn't go so far as to allege they're the ultimate power behind this particular investigation, that could easily be explained by Grassley being a republican, he probably doesn't like the SEC to begin with.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoThe problem with your theory is that the SEC, not Goldman (or any other party possibly under the secret control of Goldman), controlled the timing of these reports.
