i like his comment ' the nature of a bubble is that by defintion the people that are in it cannot see it'. thats right lloyd, and you are in the biggest of history right now, namely the bubble in the financial services industry.Idiot.
@esohe81 I agree that people are posting completely immature and unacceptable comments. However most people do not know or take the time to express themselves properly. People are upset and frustrated at this man because of all the illegal and unethical practices associated with Goldman Sachs.
@meerfisch1 He did not commit genocide, thus he is far more positive than Hitler. You idiots make me sick. He is successful because he has a great work ethic and ambition. Why does the 99% try to find excuses to not be the 1%?
@Zake4688194 Obviously you have not the slightest idea of how bad this asshole is to the whole society - worldwide. I am banker myself and I have profound knowledge of how Goldman - this fucking jewish bank - is conducting their business. I could write a book about it. U should really do some homework rather then glorify something you don't understand.
@meerfisch1 Obviously your have not the slightest idea of how bad HITLER was. This banker has had malpractice and other such scandals, he is by no means an innocent man. That was not my point, you dunce. My point was that there is a large difference between stealing and killing entire races of people. If you cannot see the difference, then stop breathing my fucking air.
@Zake4688194 Indeed, I am a Christian and I feel that this man is dishonest. However, I think what he said in this video is inspiring. Goldman has taken a killing for some of the things they have done. Also other giants like Lehman Bros. and Bear Stearns
"I'd remember walking along and somebody in the upper part of the upper decks would raise his hands and say 'I'd like a soda'", and I'm thinking, this tray is unbelievably heavy, and the lids didn't work so well in the 1960s as they do today, and I'm going to walk all the way up there for two and three quarter cents? And guess what? I walked all the way up there for two and three quarter cents."
His Salary is 68 million dollars per year. SO sweet he says is about team work. Do you think I buy this crap? I am also have worked in a team as well many of my friend nobody has your salary. I know you would never tell us what is behind the scene. I know who back you up Floyd
Life is always a contract the you made with people: yes Floyd I know that. You a see customer even within members of your family. When your child was born he didn't get a birth Certificate he got a Contract to live with expiration date GREED GREED & more GREED
sounds like the Elmer FUD version of Enron CEO Ken Lay. Is Mr.Fud missing an importantant? How about the $5 billion that landing in Goldman's pocket to save their ass when AIG was baled out.
How this Synagogue of Satanist (Blankfein) is able to walk the streets without someone beating the living snot out of him is beyond me. Oh yeah..thieves like him DON'T walk the streets. He doesn't dare.

@esohe81 This guy not only stole an insane amount of money from the American people, he lied about it to Congress. I'm not jealous of this guy because I have a moral compass, where is yours?
Successful? This is the head of a company that was DIRECTLY involved in bringing down the world economy. Perhaps you should do your homework before saying such naive and quite frankly, false statements.
this was the same guy who got the country in the recession and massive debt ,also forcing tax payers to bail out banks with empty threats,seriously stop being a retard and do proper research before you open your big ignorant mouth
@Man0nFire420 do you want to form your own opinion and not just parrot news reports. Goldman Sachs didnt cause the recession, it sounds like you have no clue what they even did. Their job is to predict whats going to happen in the economy and invest money to get a return. They knew the economy was ALREADY screwed so they shorted stock to make money. Thats how the share market works someone wins someone loses. So how about YOU do some research before you go telling people to do research?
these guys were caught red handed selling stocks they already knew that were going to crash at high prices to people.not only that but there jewish banker buddy's got huge bail-out payment from honest hard working American citizens.there is no reason for anyone with any common sense to stick up for these people,there crooks and have once more robbed the american people.
@Man0nFire420 how did they cause the recession and make the country in massive debt though? Of the $15trillion debt the US is in $10billion (.06%) was lent to Goldman Sachs which they have paid back in full plus an extra $550million. I'm not saying they didnt do anything wrong, but dont go saying they caused the recession and its all their fault because its pretty clear big business is the scapegoat for the governments shitty lending policy which is what actually caused the recession.
@Man0nFire420 aig was the one with bad insurance. goldman sachs never asked for a bail out. aig was the one who went to capitol hill and asked for those bailout and the money went to those banks you should you own research.you don make any sense
I know your comment is old, but I think you should know AIG owed a huge amount to goldman sachs, which would have never been paid if they sunk. Goldman Sachs lobbied for a bail out
@esohe81 making money by trading paper back and forth is not a noble profession!!!! trading a rigged game and milking the spread is like riding a canoe downstream...doesnt take much effort does it?!!! americans are a joke.
@esohe81 look at it this way from a macro economic point of view, if you had the ability to print money and purchase goods on the cheap with it (free), would that give you an advantage over your neighbor. Well imagine that on a global scale and add 40 years to it. Americans have cheated and disgraced their way to bankruptcy. if we're GIVEN such a gift and you still found a way to $%^& it up. The USD as reserve currency is coming to an end.
@esohe81 wait! you think your innovations, massive growth expansion, and easy credit has anything to do with your politics or freedoms. America's ability to obtain cheap oil/energy has been the key driver to your debt base economy. without easy access to that cheap crude, your economy and military is powerless via your USD, which is soon to be backed by nothing but the toilet paper its printed on.
@esohe81 Interesting comment, its interesting because you say people dislike lloyd blankfein because he is successful, if that was true why are people so friendly towards Bill Gates and Warren Buffet? Maybe because those two people are not complete crooks that lie and rob and destroy economies to make a fast buck.
Maybe you are a moron, thats a possibly we can't rule out.
@esohe81 Succesful? He ran Goldman Sachs into the ground and if they weren't bailed out by the taxpayer in 2008 he'd be back selling soda at the Yankee stadium again!
@esohe81 "people are so jealous of successful people. just look at all the comments from the wretches."
There is a BIG difference between success because of successfully creating and success because of successfully taking. Lloyd Blankfein is the latter, and his response to Goldman's "shotgun wedding" mergers, massive securities frauds, and massive political contributions to help promote his cause is usually "well, yeah, i do that... that's my job!"
Lloyd Blankfein is a MF zionist blood sucker! Goldman Sachs et al r a law on2 themselves. Has any1 ever got a str8 answer how these crooks make their money? 4 eg. we know a baker earns his living by selling bread. We know a barber makes his loot by cutting hair, so WTF, do the ashkanzis do 2 earn their keep? these Gekos manipulate the money markets 2 make astronomical amounts of money. I hope a revolution cums soon & these bankstas will be the first 2 b lynched. אמא מזדיינת חלאה יהודית
@privatezib act as middlemen for businesses trying to raise money and investors willing to give it, then charging egregious fees, although this only accounts for 10% of profits, but is usually what they cite when asked. I also believe they make trades on behalf of themselves and clients, but who do you thinks comes first. Being intimately close to the financial markets which runs on information and sentiment, its no surprise that most of their bets work out (insider trading pretty much).

@CAPITALGAINSBRAH No you didn't because you went on to read what I had to say, became angry that it went against what you said, and therefore you had to point out some flaw in my statement.. No one would post something as stupid as that off of the first two words. Nice try though. And you pretend to be a grammar Naz,i yet you don't even capitalize the first word in your sentence :P. Try to understand what people are saying to you before you go and make yourself look like an ass.
@CAPITALGAINSBRAH No, there firm was forced to take the money. And what you need to understand is that these firms, banks, investing and what not depend and thrive on incredibly smart, educated, and motivated people and if they are compensated properly some other firm will gladly pay them more, and they will shortly leave. Its critical for these firms to retain the human capital to stay afloat. Thats why these people make huge bonuses.
@snip3rj0e read monkey business. Investment banking is pretty much knowing a number your clients will accept, and working backwards to justify it, which makes no sense at all and could be done by anyone. I think the issue is that a lot of the business is a "beauty pageant", so although any community college dropout could do the work, clients wont choose your firm unless you have the credibility of a harvardesque MBA. And these pepes will only join your firm if you compensate them as you said.
someone, in one comment, please explain to me how he fucked over the american public. i know he is an investment banker... but that is all i really know
@crazysoccerman14 he didn't, but hes filthy rich partly at the expense of the bad deals that tanked other firms and hurt the general economy, so people in anger blame him and Goldman Sachs which is also an incredibly successful and very profit driven firm. And no, Goldman Sachs did not need money to stay afloat they were forced to take it, and no the money wasn't used for bonuses.
BOB HORMATS..........FORMER VICE CHAIRMAN OF GOLDMAN SACHS IS WORKING FOR THE OBAMA SYNDICATE......who da thunk???? THERE IS ONLY ONE PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE..........THE WALL STREET WEALTH CLASS PARTY AND ALL THE STOOGES IN WASHINGTON DO THEIR BIDDNG!
@catalinaguerrero Have you gone mental? The guy is the highest paid executive on Wall Street, CEO of the biggest Financial Institute and making Goldman Sachs masses of money, and inevitably himself with the bonuses in which he deserves. A great If you ask me.
everyone but Wells Fargo and JP Morgan would have failed. Bank of America probably could have made it.
Goldman was going to come down. If you read Too Big To Fail, you will understand y Paulson was so stressed. He knew the decisions that he had made at Goldman and the decisions LLoyd had made. They both knew that the house was going to come down.
Goldman doesn't have d smartest guys. They failed. They were on the brink of collapse when d taxpayers saved them.
this is the guy why me and millions like me got fired and struggle to find money....i FUCKING HATE YOU SHITFACE...although you are just a puppet...FUCK OFF BITCH...if you were in front of me i would eat you alive
He's a crook! This is what he is. A man that sold his soul to the devil to make profit regardless of the pain and suffering he and his golden boys brought about to the world. He says he thinks has a lot of principles in place. This is a real joke. There's nothing to admire on this fellow. Maybe some day he will wake up but I doubt. He's too brainwashed for that.
I watched him give testimony in Congress on C-SPAN. I'll admit that I wanted to hate him. However, I have a new found respect for the man. Lloyd Blankfein did not sweat & he gave answers with a smile because he knew that, legally, he did nothing wrong. It was hilarious watching the Senators get frustrated with his answers. He's a very smart man.
@DaviidHill It all depends who you define smart. If smart means to deceive people than he is smart. In that sense, Hitler was very smart also. Maybe we could define by smart based on how many people you destroy per minute. I have a different definition for smart. For me he's just a numb, dumb, nothing.
@perlaand, I don't think it depends on how you define smart. The simple fact of the matter is that the kind of deception that Goldman Sachs engaged in, while Lloyd Blankfein was in charge, was a perfectly legal part of their business model. It's not right, it's not ethical, it's not moral, but it was legal. That was something those Senators couldn't quite appreciate.
He's kind of like the evil genius you watch on TV. If they're especially good at what they're doing, you admire them.
@DaviidHiII In our society people seem to admire who makes money. If you make lots of money you're smart, you're genius. This is a delusion. Weather Goldman did something legal or illegal we don't know yet. Regardless, they should not use business, which is supposed to be a good thing, to ruin millions while making money out of it. Business is supposed to bring good things, jobs, products, service, not deception, tragedies. Again there's nothing to admire in these fellows.
@perlaand, Al Capone, Tony Soprano, John Gotti, & Scarface are all anti-heroes that get admired in our society. I agree with you that it is a serious problem in our country that we only tend to admire people who make money because this has led to a dumbing-down & a rejection of ethical values in our society. Business has only one thing in mind & that is survival. I don't like the ethical failure. I simply admire the smarts. However what I personally admire more than a Blankfein is a Noam Chomsky
@DaviidHiII Al Capone and others alike are publicly known but that's all. They are not admired but by criminals. I do not admire anybody because there's nothing to admire in anybody. I may feel attracting by or be interested in one's knowledge or activity but this is not admiration. There's no such a thing be smarter than other, only in egoitic mind. Life is to be lived for the good of all. Individuality is a dilusion. Blankfein is a dilusional character who thinks he's the world.
According to Wiki, this guy's a self-made person from the Bronx, whose parents worked reception and the postal service. This is America, where anything can happen.
Ha ha ha, check that office! It was paid for by clients who Blankfein always knew he was ripping off on behalf of the mutual fund. Institutionalised fraud on a massive scale. Now Congress seeks to regulate even more and further insulate people like this from the angry, honest men they cheat and a free market.
NewYorkTimes you hypocritical rat bastards! You are vehemently anti-Indian and anti-Hindu yet you support jewish thieves like this Blankfein and other criminals like the communist chinese. I bet your worthless yellow journal, The New York Times, is funded by the communist filth that pervades your quarters.

@esohe81 "people are so jealous of successful people. just look at all the comments from the wretches."
There is a BIG difference between success because of successfully creating and success because of successfully taking. Lloyd Blankfein is the latter, and his response to Goldman's "shotgun wedding" mergers, massive securities frauds, and massive political contributions to help promote his cause is usually "well, yeah, i do that... that's my job!"

Has any1 ever got a str8 answer how these crooks make their money? 4 eg. we know a baker earns his living by selling bread. We know a barber makes his loot by cutting hair, so WTF, do the ashkanzis do 2 earn their keep? these Gekos manipulate the money markets 2 make astronomical amounts of money. I hope a revolution cums soon & these bankstas will be the first 2 b lynched. אמא מזדיינת חלאה יהודית

@privatezib act as middlemen for businesses trying to raise money and investors willing to give it, then charging egregious fees, although this only accounts for 10% of profits, but is usually what they cite when asked. I also believe they make trades on behalf of themselves and clients, but who do you thinks comes first. Being intimately close to the financial markets which runs on information and sentiment, its no surprise that most of their bets work out (insider trading pretty much).

snip3rj0e 1 year ago
@CAPITALGAINSBRAH No, there firm was forced to take the money. And what you need to understand is that these firms, banks, investing and what not depend and thrive on incredibly smart, educated, and motivated people and if they are compensated properly some other firm will gladly pay them more, and they will shortly leave. Its critical for these firms to retain the human capital to stay afloat. Thats why these people make huge bonuses.
snip3rj0e 1 year ago
@snip3rj0e read monkey business. Investment banking is pretty much knowing a number your clients will accept, and working backwards to justify it, which makes no sense at all and could be done by anyone. I think the issue is that a lot of the business is a "beauty pageant", so although any community college dropout could do the work, clients wont choose your firm unless you have the credibility of a harvardesque MBA. And these pepes will only join your firm if you compensate them as you said.

everyone but Wells Fargo and JP Morgan would have failed. Bank of America probably could have made it.
Goldman was going to come down. If you read Too Big To Fail, you will understand y Paulson was so stressed. He knew the decisions that he had made at Goldman and the decisions LLoyd had made. They both knew that the house was going to come down.
Goldman doesn't have d smartest guys. They failed. They were on the brink of collapse when d taxpayers saved them.

I watched him give testimony in Congress on C-SPAN. I'll admit that I wanted to hate him. However, I have a new found respect for the man.

He's a very smart man.
Full Disclosure: I'm a very very liberal person.

@DaviidHill It all depends who you define smart. If smart means to deceive people than he is smart. In that sense, Hitler was very smart also. Maybe we could define by smart based on how many people you destroy per minute. I have a different definition for smart. For me he's just a numb, dumb, nothing.
perlaand 1 year ago
@perlaand, I don't think it depends on how you define smart. The simple fact of the matter is that the kind of deception that Goldman Sachs engaged in, while Lloyd Blankfein was in charge, was a perfectly legal part of their business model. It's not right, it's not ethical, it's not moral, but it was legal. That was something those Senators couldn't quite appreciate.
He's kind of like the evil genius you watch on TV. If they're especially good at what they're doing, you admire them.
DaviidHiII 1 year ago
@DaviidHiII In our society people seem to admire who makes money. If you make lots of money you're smart, you're genius. This is a delusion. Weather Goldman did something legal or illegal we don't know yet. Regardless, they should not use business, which is supposed to be a good thing, to ruin millions while making money out of it. Business is supposed to bring good things, jobs, products, service, not deception, tragedies. Again there's nothing to admire in these fellows.
perlaand 1 year ago
@perlaand, Al Capone, Tony Soprano, John Gotti, & Scarface are all anti-heroes that get admired in our society. I agree with you that it is a serious problem in our country that we only tend to admire people who make money because this has led to a dumbing-down & a rejection of ethical values in our society. Business has only one thing in mind & that is survival. I don't like the ethical failure. I simply admire the smarts. However what I personally admire more than a Blankfein is a Noam Chomsky
DaviidHiII 1 year ago
@DaviidHiII Al Capone and others alike are publicly known but that's all. They are not admired but by criminals. I do not admire anybody because there's nothing to admire in anybody. I may feel attracting by or be interested in one's knowledge or activity but this is not admiration. There's no such a thing be smarter than other, only in egoitic mind. Life is to be lived for the good of all. Individuality is a dilusion. Blankfein is a dilusional character who thinks he's the world.
