Lloyd Blankfein Question at FCIC Hearing 1/13/2010.mov

[timewilltell7]

his lower lip is weird - he's a reptilian - he's all contorted and not human

blank feigned expression - what a piece of shit

[noobarxis]

goldman sachs, we are coming. . . expect us . . .

[charliemctruth]

I feel nauseous..

[tibic]

Blankfein si the second brightest head in US. The brightest is Viniar.

[cml4456]

From my point of view, it's like this... You couldn't afford that $300k house and you knew it. Then you default on that loan and bitch and blame these investment banks for your own idiocy. If you borrowed $100k from a loan shark and knew that if you didn't pay back, he'd kill you. You would not take the loan. SAME THING PEOPLE.

[Talentz92]

@cml4456 Yeah i totally agree with you. Its kind of like the relationship of a drug dealer and a drug addict. The dealer has the supply and the addict creates the demand KNOWING the risks involved. Funny thing this whole trial is just smoke and mirrors, to make it look like the Gov't are doing something (Even though they probably gained from GS's actions).

[Talentz92]

@Talentz92 i take that back its not funny its unfair that these bankers get away with it. They hold the economy at ransom and use bailout money to pay for bonuses over here in the UK.

[FinancialSP]

@Talentz92 Most view this in terms of the people who do them wrong in their life, so they cry foul thinking it's a scam. This sphere is a different plane entirely made up of larger and more complex/sophisticated interactions. People have votes, the voted are accountable, and the voters don't understand the ramifications of decisions as complex as monetary policy and capitalism. The truth is, if you did, you would be able to write books on it, or would actively be becoming very wealthy.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 You're right, but it's too much cognitive-dissonance and too much of an education gap for people to understand. Blankfein is speaking Chinese to them, the news are making money off of them through ads while they don't understand. Production and personal responsibility, it goes far.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 He also can't explain the whole concept over the video, because it is too in-depth. People want answers using their concepts and understanding of life. These companies have studied volumes of data to get there in that range of trillions of dollars. What you see in these comments is the social caste and their resulting opinions based on that scale of poor understanding. If they choose to educate themselves, they won't react the way they do to objectivity.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 But most can't and won't... look at poster "Charliemctruth" who says he feels nauseous... it's too objective and subconsciously understood that he knows very little and it's the responsibility of charlie to understand. He won't accept that as truth, so he feels nauseous.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 The banks were forced to lend to people who could not afford it, and the objective party Goldman Sachs profited the most, accumulating the most energy out of the delusion that humanity agreed to. This upsets people, because they are forced to go down the path to come to that conclusion often against their will, which causes anger and a plethora of negative emotions until that understanding is realized.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 It takes massive amounts of courage, discipline, humility, dedication and responsibility to come to that conclusion. That is not even the end-goal, as humanity is a Type 0 civilization. The curve of human ability goes wildly higher, in theory. Science is also bound by collective decisions, so this type of information is not wide-spread except in theoretical physics. The world is democratically electing to give power away by not growing with our most powerful creations.

[FinancialSP]

@cml4456 Goldman Sachs, is one of those creations. Also I responded to the wrong person on a comment so click the video to see the rest of what I said if you wish.

[MsCustomerCare]

What an amazing con man Blankfein is.

[ThisisCaesarMusic]

is it wrong i wanna be like him when i grow up, lol?

[riprandy318]

The top of his head looks fake

[Leadstorm76]

i would rather someone put a bullet in this fools dome instead of bin laden he did more damage to this nation, infact the world than bin laden ever could.

[ktkl68]

Some say Goldman stole our tax payers' money and controls our governement. Well they are the underwriters of US Treasury Securities. If they are what some say they are, shouldn't we go work for them or stay as far way as possible? Since I cant work for them, I feel vulnerable so I will move out of this country lol

[Desvena]

what a dirty lieing JEW, I can totally tell by his face hes a jew. Why God, did you not let Hitler get rid of them all!! They control the banks, and most major businesses, and hollywood!!! I am not even racist I just go by facts!

[takeanotefromme]

Hello, I am a professional scumbag...How may I help you?

[1992terps]

"But you'll answer these in writing afterward?"

"Yes, yes, I believe we had given protection to another counterparty and acquired that protection from AIG, so in effect we had no real kind of equity risk, but we did have a credit risk to AIG because we were required to perform on one side, and we needed them to perform on another."

"So you hedged yourself with AIG, in effect."

"Correct"

dumbass Peter Wallison is so proud of himself that he understands the definition of "hedging." I <3 banking

[MrMrhead420]

ironically, Bush Sr. Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama all had secretary of treasurary from Goldman Sachs......Conflict of interest? Check out Hank Paulson and Bernake, And a few Congressmen who know enough are Ron Paul or Alan Grayson....The thing is these elite's don't care they have enough money to do as they please.....We need to audit the Federal Reserve, hasn't been in its 96 years of existence. HR 1207!!!!!!!

[ylchiang]

Lloyd Blankfein is a genius and so are his fellow executives. They got us into this trouble by taking too much risk but if they won everyone would be saying they were geniuses. Many Congressman don't know business well enough to challenge them.

[timewilltell7]

@ylchiang

well "business" shouldnt be so complicated that these banksters can do things that people don't understand - thats the whole point of their system its called a bank as it gives you access to the current sea - currency

if you look at the ocean you can see the surface but nothing underneath - these people hide behind this same rule of water - they are hiding deep in the flow of complicated equations and no one can reconcile what is going on as it gets lost underwater...

[nickfatx]

i love all of the retards who bash the banks

[Consumerofknowledge]

Dam, how he explains what he did is just so...classic and eloquent. But you can tell he is a criminal.

[flyingbeagles]

@Consumerofknowledge Dude came from Havard law school

[Riddlerx333x]

Lloyd Blankfein deserves the "biggest Jew 2010" award for scamming the most money out of Americans and fellow citizens of this world

how does he sleep at night?

[RhunDraco]

@Riddlerx333x Because his piggy bank probably has more money in it than most of us will ever make in our lifetime.

[bulbheadmyass]

@RhunDraco He makes more money in a day than most of us will ever see in our lifetime.

[cosmo071071]

Lloyd Blankfein and his pals are the real terrorists. They are the real enemies.

[cosmo071071]

Lloyd Blankfein and his pals and all these hedge fund manages are the real axes of evil.

[samson5791]

This clown reminds me of the dealer from "vegas vacation" you know the one that takes all of Chevy Chases money!!!!

[guydecervens]

The face of evil = Lloyd Blankfein

[dyad2r1]

Another day, another crooked Jew.

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

@dyad2r1

Its not the Jews! The Jews were blamed by the capitalists so the anger of the world could be turned against them instead of the real enemies: The Anarcho-capitalists and the crooks named Big Business, Goldman Sachs style banks, Neo-conservatives and military-industrial complexes! Down with them!!!

[dyad2r1]

@TheVoiceOfReason93

Spoken like a true Jew.

[astrolifter]

@TheVoiceOfReason93 OH STOP, JEWS ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED!~

[dalecampbl7]

justice will never bring these guys down....their people infiltrate the gov't, make what used to be illegal, legal...i mean seriously what can you do? nothing? this guy is an ivy league trained cold hearted bastard who probably sticks his nose down on everyone else. it's how you make money now, forget actually doing anything...just MAKE A HUGE BET The country will fail!

[dalecampbl7]

Lloyd Blankfein, you are the new face of corporate greed, the new face of all that can really go wrong with unregulated capitalism...you are just another in the long line of capitalists who have done nothing good for the country except screw every one else out of their money so you can make a few quick bucks. Who care if $100 is wasted as long for each $100 you can make $1 whcih equates to a few million or a billion in profit for you and your cronies, you bunch of scum fucks, hope you die

[dancingforrain2012]

I Don't know what he said...I just wanna put him on his knees and put a .45 in his mouth

[astrolifter]

@dancingforrain2012 LMAO!!

[esc319]

Yeah...don't buy a used car from Lloyd!

[whiterook72]

This is guy is the human version of Scrooge McDuck

[bearstearn3]

i love this man, lloyd blankfein

[NewStreamMediadotORG]

somehow his eloquence allows him to openly explain theft from the government (a/k/a the American people) in a way that leads you to respect his (and Goldman Sachs') business cunning.

[talebi818]

He didnt steal any money. The Gov, elected by the people, stole taxpayer money.

[astrolifter]

@NewStreamMediadotORG THE GUY IS NO DUMMY, GRADUATE HARVARD..HARVARD LAW SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL VALORVICTORIAN..

[samson5791]

@astrolifter This clown reminds me of the dealer from "vegas vacation" you know the one that takes all of Chevy Chases money!!!!

[Ciaresayton]

@samson5791 Or the guy from "The Jerk" whose eyes go cross from the uni-grab

[bulbheadmyass]

@NewStreamMediadotORG I respect his business cunning less than I respect Bernie Madoff's. Goldman Sachs has done way more damage and is just as dishonest.

[Blankito2007]

@NewStreamMediadotORG gay?

[trinomialtree]

the ultimate risk manager ~~~all hail CEO blankfein and record bonuses 2010~~~

[sandman2425]

@bearstearn3 every jew would like to be as greedy as Lloyd Blankfein, even you!

your people are the ones destroying USA & Greece's Economy. Remember it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven.

[plasticoop]

Diese Bänker sind solche Arschlöcher...

Those bank managers are simply pricks!
