If You Are Watching The Goldman Sachs Testimony - This Guy Joshua Birnbaum Is A.......

[global1]

real weasel. He has this arrogant attitude and reminds me of Eddie Haskell from Beaver. I get the impression after listening to him that he is a snake. He is displaying this confident air about him that just seems false. I don't trust this guy. And I believe that if this Senate committee really leans on this guy that he'll turn on Goldman in order to save his ass. I hope they turn up the heat on this guy.

2. You have to be that way in order to get a job there.

Or any job on Wall Street, really.

7. ugh.

9. I'm serious. That's why I left the industry. It was revolting.

[Klukie]

3. He is everything that is wrong with this country personified.

Greedy and Arrogant and too young to know better.

4. I think Sparks is dangerous since he's developed a veneer of sincerity

5. that's because he knows

that he and the rest of the crew are going to get away with their thievery scott free.

6. Their thievery was made legal

in 1999. After new regulations go into effect, wait 3 to 5 years for a flurry of new types of derivatives to come on the market.

8. Exhibit A in the PR disaster that this hearing is for Goldman

Fuck 'em.
