Somali Pirates Say They Are Subsidiary of Goldman Sachs

The pirate, who said he earned a bonus of $48 million in dubloons last year, elaborated on the nature of the Somalis' work for Goldman, explaining that the pirates forcibly attacked ships that Goldman had already shorted.

"There are lots of laws that could bring these guys down if they were, in fact, pirates," one government source said. "But if they're bankers, our hands are tied." More here.

What Goldman gets away with is ridiculous. Laws should be for everyone and Goldman is stealing like the pirates.

Stock Market Collapse: More Goldman Market Rigging

Manipulation by whom? Markets can be rigged with computers using high-frequency trading programs (HFT), which now compose 70% of market trading; and Goldman Sachs is the undisputed leader in this new gaming technique.

Matt Taibbi maintains that Goldman Sachs has been “engineering every market manipulation since the Great Depression.” When Goldman does not get its way, it is in a position to throw a tantrum and crash the market. It can do this with automated market making technologies like the one invented by Max Keiser, which he claims is now being used to turbocharge market manipulation.

FR:
Once upon a time in a land far away I thought the idea that the cia dealing drugs was preposterous.
Now goldmansachs running pirates to manipulate prices seems quite plausable.
I am older now

Want to hear something hilarious? Goldman claims they had a computer program stolen. One they themselves used. What is the danger from it possibly falling into the wrong hands?

“The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways,” Facciponti said, according to a recording of the hearing made public yesterday. “The copy in Germany is still out there, and we at this time do not know who else has access to it.”

Basically exactly what they themselves do.

Oh, someone put in a b instead of a m and the whole stock market goes down? Hmm. Did they actually have billions of stock to trade? Interesting. How do you sell billions if you only have millions?

I think we are all aware that this is a joke post.
My post was more on the line of "fiction could be reality" based on other "so called" crazy thoughts.
When you were young would you have ever believed that the cia would be involved in smuggling heroin? Or, that as Johnnie Cochrin proved, that the fbi crime lab is a joke?
