Goldman Shares Tumble
on SEC Fraud Allegations
By Joshua Gallu and Christine Harper - Apr 16, 2010
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was sued by U.S. regulators
for fraud tied to collateralized debt obligations that
contributed to the worst financial crisis since the Great
Depression. The firm’s shares tumbled 13 percent and
financial stocks slumped.
Goldman Sachs created and sold CDOs linked to
subprime mortgages in early 2007, as the U.S. housing
market faltered, without disclosing that hedge fund
Paulson & Co. helped pick the underlying securities and
bet against the vehicles, the Securities and Exchange
Commission said today. Billionaire John Paulson’s firm
earned $1 billion on the trade and wasn’t accused of
wrongdoing. The SEC also sued Fabrice Tourre, a
Goldman Sachs vice president who helped create the
CDOs, known as Abacus.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc was charged with fraud by the U.S. Secu
and Exchange Commission over its marketing of a subprime mortgage product, igniting a ba
between Wall Street's most powerful bank and the nation's top securities regulator.
The civil lawsuit is the biggest crisis in years for a company that faced criticism over its pay a
business practices after emerging from the global financial meltdown as Wall Street's most
influential bank.
It may also make it more difficult for the industry to beat back calls for reform as lawmakers in
Washington debate an overhaul of financial regulations.
Goldman called the lawsuit "completely unfounded," adding, "We did not structure a portfolio
was designed to lose money."
The lawsuit puts Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein further on the defensive after he t

For the past decade or so, the acronym SEC has better stood for “Sitting Enjoying Coffee” rat
than “Securities Exchange Commission.” After all, one need only mention the name “Bernie
Madoff” to turn your average SEC employee into a puddle of apologetic goo.
Today, however, the SEC announced it is going after a big fish. Perhaps the biggest, as the SE
fraud charges against Goldman Sachs, accusing the mega-financial outfit of selling investmen
they had secretly planned to have fail. From The Huffington Post:

"We are not a fiduciary," he said.
The case also involves John Paulson, a hedge fund investor whose firm Paulson & Co made
billions of dollars by betting the nation's housing market would crash. This included an estima
