Goldman Sachs sold 44% of BP stock before oil spill

Apparently our good friends at Goldman Sachs and several other Tarp banks sold off their BP stocks before the BP oil disaster. I understand that this is only circumstantial evidence, but what makes it worth investigating is that these were the same banks that benefited from the Bail out. Smells like insider trading at the very least, and criminal foreknowledge is not off the table. Links below.

@kindacoiny 8 days prior to the gulf spill Halliburton/KBR bought a oil spill containment company called "boots and coots"...coincidence?

Because nobody understands why or how this rig exploded producing an extremely dangerous leak that appears impossible to seal I say anything is possible. They either can’t or won’t close off this leak but based on the engineers chiming in they feel there is no serious effort to close off this leak. What does all this mean? Obama with no leadership to speak, BP at a loss to deal with it, Boom and burn procedure ignored, No meaningful cleanup effort initiated, Cap and Tax in the news. Hmmm.

Yep, just like the tons of puts purchased the week b4 9/11 attack.

no oil = price goes up = cash

BP oil spill , a sale of prime assets, to a newly formed US corporation, at half the

true value, paid for over ten years? Well bless my cotton socks..who'd

have thunk that up?

Let's not forget Tony Hayward, BP ceo sold off 33% of his shares just prior to the "spill". A bunch of strange conincidences!

Puppet Obama's observed reluctance to stop Gulf's destruction is INTENTIONAL.

Wall Street cons "GOLDMAN SACHS" had foreknowledge HALIBURTON and TRANSOCEAN planned to covertly detonate Deepwater Horizon ON PURPOSE.

Annihilation of Gulf equals Big Profits for Goldman Sachs, who's heavily leveraged in Obama & Al Gore's virtually-dead Carbon Offset Trading firm "CCX".

Public opinion killed BOGUS "Global Warming/Carbon Offset Tax" at ClimateGate/Copenhagen.

This INCONVENIENT SPILL changes everything.

god damn, this is as bad as jp morgan and the coal sludge

The Banksters unloaded many stocks after they pumped the prices of those stocks up with free TARP money and other money barrowed at 0 - .25% rate. The market indexes were up huge in just a few quarters on weak economic results. They are just getting out before the latest bubble bursts. Not saying that they did not know something was about to happen but they just gained an easy 50% plus on investments that they made with free money. Something stinks but I do not think the stench is BP.

Sorry, i don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, it's just way too many coincidences concerning GS, they either have analysts that can see into the future or they have connections on each and every level of the financial exchanges, alerting them to "opportunities"
