* >>"Blankfein hired Reid Weingarten, a famous white-collar defense attorney...Weingarten was a friend of Attorney General Eric Holder; his children went to Georgetown Day School with the children of Lanny Breuer, head of the criminal division of the D.O.J. ...Weingarten pestered Breuer, saying, “Close this …case, will ya?” *
Curious: So how much would Blankfein be charged in a case like this? Saved at least tens of millions in lawyer fees and that's if he was found not guilty. Maybe his firm is hired to do legal work for Goldman but that can be problematic. $1 Million if the case dropped + hours worked?
- qaq 8y agoI have no doubt this could have happened but what is Weingarten pestered Breuer, saying, “Close this …case, will ya?” is actually based on? I doubt this was done publicly. Also I doubt they would have an actual case against Blankfein GS has very strong legal team I have strong doubts Blankfein would have acted in a way that would put him personally into harms way.
