That's insane - previously I'd noted that some court cases in the US seemed geared towards finding someone who could be dressed up and manipulated to look guilty, and then just throw the full might of the law (and the media) at them. This only confirms this - there's no way anyone's reading that original sentence and editing it that way unless they're just casting about for a scapegoat

The email is unrelated to any transaction, and was clearly selected and sent by GS to the SEC for that purpose. To their credit, the senators that grilled Goldman executives over this thing asked GS why they sent this to the SEC other than to give them a scapegoat.
