Those "Stupid Germans," the SEC and Michael Lewis

!!John Carney, writing today about the players in the Goldman SEC investigation, is not at all the first to reference The Big Short, Michael Lewis' book about the financial "crisis" (AKA "series of scams"), in light of the Goldman Sachs case. You know, it has been suggested that it's almost as if the SEC read The Big Short and then went out looking for more examples of the things in the book! In fact it's almost exactly like that. Who says books aren't useful?

Wait… a GS post, but where are the hysterics?

;)

You know, I didn't see any in the last one? Or anything that could be deemed pro-GS, for that matter.

@terse: That's res's joke, right? As opposed to the other site?

Oh, I wasn't getting on him, just observing. I thought it was a reference
to the comments here. I blame the stupid German in me!

Except that the SEC has been investigating this case since 2008.
