Eva Andersson is Doe 107. See below from wikipedia about her husband Glenn Dubin:

The foundation (Robin Hood) combines investment principles and philanthropy to assist programs that target poverty in New York City.
In 2006, the board of directors included such names as Jeffrey Immelt, Diane Sawyer, Harvey Weinstein, Marie-Josee Kravis, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Richard S. Fuld, Jr., formerly of Lehman Brothers, Glenn Dubin of Highbridge Capital, Marian Wright Edelman and actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
In 2009, George Soros gave the foundation a US$50 million contribution. Artists including The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation, Shakira, John Legend, The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, The Who and Aerosmith have performed at the group's annual fund raising galas.
In 2017, Robin Hood appointed author and veterans advocate Wes Moore as its CEO. Moore grew up in poverty in the Bronx before becoming a Rhodes scholar at the University of Oxford, a paratrooper and captain in the 82nd Airborne, and investment banker at Citigroup. Citigroup is involved in money laundering for Operation Gladio activities. Moore succeeded David Saltzman who was the Executive Director since co-founding the organization.
In 1992, Dubin and Swieca founded Highbridge Capital Management with $35 million in capital, naming the institutional alternative-asset management firm after the 19th Century aqueduct that connects Washington Heights with the Bronx.
In late 2004, J.P. Morgan Asset Management-a division of JPMorgan Chase-purchased a majority interest in Highbridge for $1.3 billion. Where Epstein preferred to bank.
In July 2009, J.P. Morgan Asset Management completed its purchase of substantially all remaining shares of the firm. After the purchase, Dubin remained Highbridge's chief executive
In 2015, CCI (Dubin) acquired Morgan Stanley's Global Oil Merchanting business, creating one of the world's largest independent energy merchants.
Dubin was the non-executive chairman, and remains a member of the board of directors and the firm's lead shareholder.
Following in Les Wexner's footsteps at Harvard Dubin "In 2010, Dubin established the Dubin Fellowship for Emerging Leaders at the Center for Public Leadership, an academic research center at Harvard Kennedy School, with a $5 million gift. The Center for Public Leadership was created by Wexner and where Epstein hung out ON CAMPUS to recruit victims. There are several connections between Dubin and Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein invested millions in Dubin's hedge fund and helped JPMorgan acquire Dubin's firm. Epstein had dated Dubin's wife, Eva Andersson for nearly a decade starting in the 1980s and the Dubins continued to maintain a friendship with Epstein, including after Epstein's arrest for sex trafficking in 2006. In 2015, Virginia Roberts Giuffre alleged in a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell that Maxwell had "directed [her to] have sex with" Dubin and others. Giuffre did not allege that she had in fact had sex with Dubin or make any other claims against him.
On April 19, 2012, Dubin and his wife Eva signed The Giving Pledge, created by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.The commitment of the pledge is to give away at least 50% of their wealth to charity within their lifetime.

Former Goldman Banker Found Guilty Of Fraud And Money Laundering In 1MDB Case

Paging Lloyd Blankfein (wherever he is)…the relatively junior Goldman Banker Roger Ng, formerly the head of Goldman's investment banking business in Malaysia, has been found guilty on all three counts following a weeks-long trial at a federal courthouse in Brooklyn.

Specifically, Ng was charged with two counts of conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and one count of conspiring to commit money laundering.

He now faces up to 30 years in prison at his sentencing, Bloomberg reports.

Ng was found guilty after his former boss, Tim Leissner, struck a deal with prosecutors to turn states' evidence. Despite a valiant effort by Ng's defense team, which included exposing Leissner's neck-deep complicity in the scheme, and his role as the mastermind of the 1MDB bond deals that netted Goldman hundreds of millions of dollars in fees, while seeding 1MDB with billions of dollars - money that was supposed to be used for public works, but was instead siphoned off by former PM Najib Razak and his inner circle (including mastermind Jho Low, who remains a fugitive from justice and is believed to be hiding in China). The money was ultimately used as a political slush fund to buy votes for Razak's re-election, while Low also stole billions and used it to throw lavish parties, gift celebrities (including model Miranda Kerr) with fabulous jewelry, purchase luxury yachts and real-estate and finance the making of the Martin Scorsese film "The Wolf of Wall Street".

Q Research General #17738: Never Never Never Give Up

Blankfein, Cohn To Face Shareholder Lawsuit Over Massive 1MDB Corruption

For a while, it looked as if Lloyd Blankfein, Gary Cohn and other senior Goldman executives who were around when the firm first started doing business with 1MDB, the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund that was plundered by associates of former PM Najib Razak while also being utilized as a political slush fund (the money was supposed to be used on public works projects in poor Malaysia).

Although Blankfein and others were forced to return some of their bonus pay, Gary Cohn - who left the bank to serve as Trump's top economic advisor for a brief time before being unceremoniously ousted from the West Wing - appeared to have successfully snubbed the bank's claw-back attempts, refusing to turn over $10MM that the bank demanded.

But while Blankfein and others have escaped criminal liability, it looks like they won't be so lucky on the civil front.

Blankfein and Cohn must face a shareholder lawsuit over the 1MDB global bribery scandal, a judge ruled yesterday. US District Judge Vernon Broderick denied requests from Goldman, Blankfein and Cohn to dismiss a shareholder lawsuit led by Swedish pension fund Sjunde AP-Fonden. However the judge did drop former co-COO Harvey Schwartz from the case.

Shareholders initially sued Goldman Sachs in late 2018, accusing the bank of misleading them about the firm's work with the sovereign wealth fund, for which the bank arranged $6.5 billion in bond sales. The firm has denied culpability in the scandal and laid the blame on Tim Leissner, a former partner who has pleaded guilty and has cooperated with prosecutors in their criminal case against Goldman (which ended in a settlement).

Q Research General #16457: Military District of Washington? Edition

Wall Street Admits Curing Diseases Is Bad for Business

Goldman Sachs has outdone itself this time. That's saying a lot for an investment firm that both helped cause and then exploited a global economic meltdown, increasing its own wealth and power while helping to boot millions of Americans out of their homes.

But nowGoldman Sachs is openly saying in financial reports that curing people of terrible diseases is not good for business.

I wish this were a joke. It sounds like a joke. In fact, I'll show you later that it used to be one of my favorite jokes. But first, the facts.

In a recent report, a Goldman analyst asked clients: "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" Salveen Richter wrote: "The potential to deliver 'one-shot cures' is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy. ... However, such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies. ... While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow."

Yes, a Goldman analyst has said outright that curing people will hurt their cash flow. And he said that in a note designed to steer clients away from investing in cures. Can "human progress" have a bottom? Because if so, this is the bottom of so-called human progress-down where the mud eels mate with the cephalopods. (Or at least that's how I picture the bottom.)

This analyst note is one of the best outright examples I've ever seen of how brutal our market economy is. In the past, this truth would not have been spoken. It would've lived deep within a banker's soul and nowhere else. It would've been viewed as too repulsive for the wealthy elite to say, "We don't want to cure diseases because that will be bad for our wallet. We want people to suffer for as long as possible. Every suffering human enriches us a little bit more."

We're circling the drain in the toilet bowl, and as you know, the contents speed up as they near the end, the event horizon. We are beginning to see more and more how disgusting a profit-above-all-else economy really is. When Donald Trump bombed Syria, the stocks of weapons contractors shot up. That spike in stocks is a spike in the gravity of capitalism, pulling people toward death and destruction. Profit has power. And its power is exerted on the society as a whole.

Furthermore, there is no debate about this on your mainstream outlets. There is no discussion as to whether war profiteering is what we really want out of our society. None. You tell me: How many perfectly coiffed CNN or Fox News hosts stated: "Weapons contractors benefited from our bombing. Isn't that revolting? Doesn't that just make you gag in your soup? Doesn't that mean we've created an upside-down system that rewards barbaric bullshit?"

You will not hear that discussion. You're more likely to hear them discuss the best blind pingpong player to ever star in a short film about self-harm. Hard news topics do not see the light of day on our suffocated corporate airwaves.

And believe it or not, the Goldman note gets even worse. The analyst says, "In the case of infectious diseases such as hepatitis C, curing existing patients also decreases the number of carriers able to transmit the virus to new patients. ..."

Decreases the number of carriers? Goldman Sachs ... is in a financial partnership ... with fucking infectious diseases.

Let that sink in. Sit with that and decide whether you want to keep your seat on spaceship earth. I'll wait.

When I first read about this-after I stopped choking on my tongue-I realized it made more sense than I first thought. I've always felt Lloyd Blankfein had a striking resemblance to Hepatitis C. But it turns out he just works with Hepatitis C. They're just really close friends and business partners. (But I heard Ebola is the godfather to his kids.)

Our aggressive strain of unfettered capitalism has blasted beyond satire in many ways. In one of my favorite Chris Rock specials, "Bigger & Blacker," which I first saw when I was a teenager, he had a joke that blew my mind. He said something like, "They ain't never gonna cure AIDS. They ain't never gonna cure AIDS. There's too much money in it. The money's not in the cure. The money's in the comeback! The money's in the comeback."

Both Corzine and Gensler worked at Goldman back in the day, and the word is that Corzine personally lobbied Gensler to delay the implementation of new rules that would have helped prevent Corzine from raiding his own clients' funds.

This whole issue smacks of the improper communications between other former Wall Street co-workers like Hank Paulson and Lloyd Blankfein. More and more, it appears that, as a matter of routine, federal regulators like Paulson (in 2008) and, later, Gensler reach out to old friends on Wall Street to negotiate/discuss the timing and the form of various policy changes, bailouts, and other regulatory matters. Inside information seemingly is traded with remarkable casualness.

Gary Cohn Stiffs Goldman For $10MM Over 1MDB Clawbacks

In the aftermath of the Vampire Squid's recent settlements with the DoJ and Malaysian government over Goldman's role in raising funds for 1MDB, a sovereign wealth fund designed to finance public works projects that instead became a slush fund for former PM Najib Razak, his wife and a circle of associates that included fugitive Jho Low, Goldman Sachs is trying to touch up its image for ruthlessly pursuing profitable details despite 'red flags' raised by compliance.

And part of that effort has focused on clawing back bonuses paid out to some of the bank's top executives at the time - including current CEO David Solomon, who was jointly responsible for overseeing the 1MDB deals (lead by example, right?) - and former CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein, who abruptly resigned in 2018 as the DoJ was ramping up its investigation into Goldman and 1MDB.

Goldman declared earlier this year that it was intent on clawing back $67MM in compensation from five of the bank's former executives. More recently, the bank revealed that it had already pocketed the money from all but one of the executives - Gary Cohn, the former Goldman president who used an infamous loophole long utilized by his predecessors (including former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson).

Back in 2017, as Cohn was leaving the bank to join the Trump Administration, Goldman "accelerated" the payout of over $100MM in stock and cash awards, which Cohn was able to cash out, tax-free. Counting an equity stake and shares in certain investment vehicles, Cohn's golden parachute totaled nearly $300MM.

When he joined President Donald Trump's White House in 2017 as director of the National Economic Council, the 60-year-old was able to immediately collect about $65 million in cash and stock tied to future Goldman performance, another $220 million of Goldman equity and stakes in company-run investment funds.

Now, per Bloomberg reports, Cohn is refusing to pony up more than $10MM that Goldman is desperately trying to claw back.

GOLDMAN SACHS: We are clawing back $67 million in executive pay and are sorry for our role in 1MDB.

GARY COHN: I'm not convinced I need to part with my $10 million.

what a scoop from @sridinats https://t.co/5wqD8VV6Rv
- Brian Chappatta (@BChappatta) December 2, 2020

For all its financial might, Goldman might have little recourse if Cohn offers up a discounted sum, or simply refuses to pay, which could "sully" Goldman's effort to atone for what the board has described as an "institutional problem".

Cohn declined to comment on whether he intends to repay, telling Bloomberg only that he is "having very constructive conversations with Goldman Sachs on that." Reps for Goldman declined to comment.

Ironically, Cohn argued earlier this week that Bitcoin suffered from an "integrity" problem and complained that the lack of transparency and an "audit trail" make crypto an undesirable asset class. He predicted that the latest crypto rally likely wouldn't hold up.

It's really too bad that Cohn feels that way, since we've heard crypto is an increasingly convenient option for stashing wealth in a difficult-to-reach place.

Is Jared Kushner a Paid Protester? Because It Turns Out He's Gotten a Bunch of Money From George Soros.

May 02, 2017

Billionaire investor and liberal donor George Soros is the subject of many discredited right-wing conspiracy theories-so many that debunking site Snopes.com has an entire wing of Soros articles. He was pictured prominently alongside two other Jewish finance figures (Janet Yellen and Lloyd Blankfein) in a eyebrow-raising Trump campaign ad about the "global special interests" who have "robbed our working class" and "stripped our country of its wealth." He's been the subject of numerous conspiratorial tweets by Trump associates, ranging from White House social media director Dan Scavino to onetime 2016 campaign operative Roger Stone to Nazi-affiliated national security goon Sebastian Gorka to chief of staff Reince Priebus to Trump scion Donald Trump Jr.

Soros-Connected Company Provides Voting Machines In 16 States https://t.co/CxOvZwPKgG via @dailycaller
- Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 19, 2016

(See here for more information about that wildly misleading claim.)

Soros is, in particular, widely blamed on the right for having allegedly paid anti-Trump protesters to fill marches and town halls since inauguration-a theory the president himself has tweeted about, though he didn't use Soros' name. And while there is, to put it midlly, not a significant amount of evidence that anti-Trump protesters are paid for their time by "globalist" bankers, it does turn out that one thing that George Soros has definitely bankrolled is a company founded by Trump's son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner. From the Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Kushner co-founded Cadre in 2014 with his brother Joshua and Ryan Williams, a 29-year-old friend and former employee of Kushner Cos., the family-controlled business that Mr. Kushner ran until recently. Cadre markets properties to prospective investors, who can put their money into specific buildings or into an investment fund run by Cadre, which collects fees on each deal.

To get off the ground, Cadre turned to a Goldman Sachs fund and a number of high-profile investors ... Cadre also secured a $250 million line of credit from the family office of George Soros, a top Democratic donor whom Mr. Trump criticized during his presidential campaign, the people close to the company said. Mr. Soros's family office is also an investor in Cadre.

So, from Soros' perspective, America will either be made great again by his business partners in the Trump administration, enriching him in the process, or it will be destroyed in a gratifying orgy of violence initiated by his paid street thugs. It's a win-win situation!

The list of 110 names released by the White House also included lobbyists, business executives and Left-wing activists such as the mogul George Soros.

No previous administration has released such a list, but the 110 names and 481 visits represented just a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who have gone through the White House's doors since January.

The White House said it plans to release most names of visitors from October onwards but that will not happen for another year.

The names released included Serena Williams, the tennis player, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (whose foundation is pushing for changes in teacher pay), Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, former AIG chairman Maurice Greenberg, JP Morgan's James Dimon, Chevron CEO David O'Reilly, Citigroup's Vikram Pandit, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

Other visitors included Morgan Stanley's John Mack, Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis, John Stumpf of Wells Fargo, State Street bank's Ron Logue, BNY Mellon's Robert Kelly, Andrew Stern, the labour leader from the Service Employees International Union, American Bankers Association CEO Ed Yingling and the lobbyists Heather and Anthony Podesta.



What names pop out?

Bill Gates
Rex Tillerson?


Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey and George Soros are among the visitors to President Obama's White House listed in newly released logs

Soros, the global financier and philanthropist, for example, visited the White House on Feb. 25 for a visit with Obama's top economist, Larry Summers. The records show Soros also had meetings in the Old Executive Office Building on March 24 and March 25. Soros is one of the wealthiest investors in the world, and has become a controversial figure for his currency trading and for investing part of his vast fortune in liberal causes.

Q Research General #11174: Is It Milley Time Yet? Edition

I Was In The Illuminati I'm Going To Tell You Everything, Shocking Expose
November 9, 2018

The Spanish flu of 1918, SARS, and the H1N1 scare all have one thing in common: they all were engineered by the Illuminati. While nothing has been instituted on a global scale, the Illuminati has been testing these viruses for years and they are finally unlocking the keys to creating a virus that will spread across the globe very, very fast killing select people. My advice: do not receive the vaccines. You will become a part of a test group that the Illuminati is using to experiment. The H1N1 virus started to become widespread when animals escaped from a farm in Brazil where the virus was being tested. Several of these animals mingled with citizens of surrounding towns, and many of the animals were consumed. The population of the surround towns were quarantined, and the ones that died were covered up; however, somehow, a traveler had carried the flu virus all the way up into northern Mexico, where the virus was first reported. The Illuminati soon found out that the virus was much, much less ineffective than they thought. They are currently pursuing research on a virus that will wipe out a country within a matter of days.
>CHINA VIRUS 2020????


In North America:
Warren Buffett is most likely the head of all Illuminati operations. Followed by Ben Bernanke, followed by Lloyd Blankfein who is CEO of Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is a key player in the North American Illuminati sector. Recently, Goldman Sachs invested almost $500 million dollars in Facebook. Usually this means that Facebook will fall under Illuminati control soon, just as Myspace and Twitter have.
Other key players in North America are Alex Jones, Bill Clinton, Rahm Emmanuel, of course Obama, and Timothy Geithner

The Middle East is controlled largely by Benjamin Netanyahu which should not come as much of a surprise. Netanyahu does not have as much control as you would think however. As I have stated before, Israel is the grand puppet state of the Illuminati.They will do absolutely anything that the Illuminati wants them to do, and they will do it to the best of their ability without even thinking twice. Israel has been given the permission to fire upon Iran whenever it wishes to do so. Control of the Middle East is hard because there are so many rebel groups. Palestine should not even be worried about. Although they are not controlled by the Illuminati, they are not able to do anything. Iran is borderline at time, and completely in opposition at others. This is why Israel will destroy Iran to start WWIII.

>saving Israel for last????

Alex Jones is not who he says he is. For years he has been working to uncover the secrets of the Illuminati and the New World Order, but yet he is a member of the former, and will be in power in the latter. Jones has been placed in the world of conspiracy theories to feed false information, to throw trackers off the trail. Do not believe anything that the man tells you. All of the information that he presents is fabricated by the Illuminati, for the Illuminati.

Scientists working for the Illuminati have found a way that they can "shut" off the sun. A weapon has been created that shoot a beam of high density radiation right into the heart of a planet or star. This beam of radiation penetrates through the planet creating a very large cylinder in the exact middle of it. The radiation that is left behind begins to eat at the star or planet and the effects spread like wildfire. This technology has been tested on various stars in our immediate solar system and is very effective. The first thing that occurs to the star is that the radiation eats a perfect cylinder through the middle of the star, the radiation left behind begins working its way outward degenerating anything in its path. The radiation continues to build and spread. Some stars hung on until they were totally deteriorated from the radiation; however, some stars became so unstable that they combusted at a certain point.

Q Research General #10880: Fuck the One World Government Edition

At least someone's doing well: Goldman Sachs gives CEO 20% raise as it forecasts crash for America

Even as the US stock market continued its free-fall due to the coronavirus pandemic, the top banker at Goldman Sachs got a pay raise to $2 million a year, $7.65 million cash bonus, plus stock options worth $17.85 million.

David Solomon "led our development of the firm's three-year business plan and a clear long-term strategy that leverages our foundational advantages, enhances the firm's long-term mindset and instills a culture of innovation," Goldman said in a federal filing disclosing the compensation.

His compensation package is the biggest for a Goldman Sachs CEO since Lloyd Blankfein took home $41 million in 2007, right before the mortgage collapse. It was was reported on Friday, after the US stock markets closed on yet another abysmal week, amid the economic downturn brought on by the fear of Covid-19.

Dow Jones Industrial Average closed on Friday at 19,173.98 - down 913.21 points, or 4.55 percent. S&P 500 was down 4.34 percent, and NASDAQ had dropped 3.79 percent. All three indices have collapsed since their peak in mid-February - NASDAQ losing almost 30 percent, S&P down 32 percent, and Dow tumbling 35.1 percent from its February 12 peak - wiping out all the gains since the beginning of the Trump presidency.

The "Rainmakers of Wallstreet" are more likely the RUSSIA BOTS.

Bernie Sanders possibly running against President Trump is starting to scare investors: strategist

There is a growing undercurrent in markets that say a battle this fall between self-described socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump could be bad news for stock prices.

As evidenced by the market's strong run-up in 2020, investors have yet to exit stocks on fears of a big government Bernie winning the Oval Office. But his continued strong showing in debates and national polls may lead to some profit-taking sooner rather than later. The concern - Sanders shocks the market-friendly Trump.

"There is definitely kind of fear [among clients] if you get a candidate like Sanders or say Elizabeth Warren," said UBS global investment strategist Jason Draho on Yahoo Finance's The First Trade. For now, the Sanders surge is keeping a lid on the market potential argues Draho.

"It's more of a headwind that keeps markets from rising higher," Draho noted.

Sanders is viewed by most rainmakers on Wall Street as anti-big business, anti-stock market and anti-wealth creation. In other words, bad for risk-taking in numerous asset classes, save for perhaps gold and bitcoin.

If Sanders is president, corporate taxes will likely head higher to pay for his Medicare for All plan and other social safety net programs. Greater regulation around stock buybacks and corporate governance could also come into play, especially if Sanders appoints Warren as Treasury Secretary, as some have speculated.

Draho isn't alone on the Street in sounding the alarm bell on Sanders.

Billionaire investor Leon Cooperman said in a recent interview Sanders is more dangerous to stocks than the coronavirus. Cooperman has been a frequent critic of Sander's and Warren over the past year.

"But Bernie, I believe, is stronger than people think, and [the] market is going to have to deal with that," cautioned DoubleLine founder Jeffrey Gundlach. Even former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein (a Democrat) is quoted in a new Financial Times story as saying he would perhaps vote for Trump instead of Sanders.

It's worth noting Blankfein has been a frequent target for years by Sanders.

"The market wants Trump to stay president because he is the most shareholder friendly," says Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye.

Lloyd Blankfein-Goldman Sachs


Goldman Sachs stock chart resembles the precipitous decline that the majority of financial-related stocks experienced as the credit crisis was peaking. In October 2007, Goldman's stock sat pretty as high as $250 per share, but bottomed near $60 per share in December 2008.
GS share price between Dec 2007 and Dec 2008 (Made with Tradingview)

CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who recently announced his retirement from Goldman and will be succeeded by David Solomon, was seen as one of the villains of Wall Street and its alleged exploitation of Main Street (though individuals also played their part in the housing crisis by bidding up housing prices). A famous Rolling Stone article from 2010 also suggested Goldman Sachs's investment bank was a "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity."

As for Blankfein's salary during the crisis, it did suffer, dropping to a little over $1 million ($1.1 million to be exact). That's still a healthy salary, but also a far cry from the estimated $70 million he received in 2007. His worth has been and is still likely closely tied to Goldman Sach's share price (he owns quite a few shares), which suffered in the downturn, but he is still estimated to be a billionaire, which he achieved as the market and Goldman stock recovered.

The Jews Who Run Wall Street

http://www.realzionistnews.com/?p=571

Known as the "GODFATHER" of Wall Street, Sanford Weill spawned many Jewish protégés including Robert Rubin, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, and Stephen Friedman.

Weill started his banking career as a Bear Stearns "runner" in 1955. He became president of American Express in 1983 and through acquisitions, created the insurance giant, Travelers Group.

Weill merged Travelers with Citicorp in 1998, when along with Alan Greenspan and Robert Rubin, "convinced" Clinton to repeal the Glass Steagall Act, the legislation that protects against Judaic financial aggression.

The merger empowered Weill to create the world's largest financial institution renamed Citigroup where Weill continues to rule as chairman emeritus.

Through his strong-arming of the pawn in the White House, Weill was soon tagged as "the banker who bought Bill Clinton and shattered Glass-Steagall."

Sanford Weill knows just how to use his money to win friends and influence students by throwing his wealth at Cornell University.

Not allowing big money to go unthanked, Cornell rewarded their Jewish benefactor by naming their medical school after him. Showing even further gratitude, the university named Weill as chairman of the board.

In other words, discrediting the "stereotyping" of Jews and money is a fine way of selling books. But we who live in the real world of FACTS and NAMES form our own opinions of WHO has the money and HOW they use it.

DOJ Said To Weigh Low-ball 1MDB Settlement-Goldman Shares Jump

Anyone who feared Goldman might suffer a massive fine or, worse, criminal penalties (possibly involving current and former senior executives such as Hillary Clinton's very close friend, Lloyd Blankfein) can breathe a sigh of relief. Goldman shares jumped 2.5% Friday morning after Bloomberg reported that the DoJ is seeking a settlement of between $1.5 billion and $2 billion for Goldman's involvement in the 1MDB affair.That substantially less than most analysts had anticipated. Earlier this year, senior Malaysian officials made a big show of demanding that Goldman pay back all of the money stolen from 1MDB with interest, as well as any fees that the bank collected for its work underwriting three separate bond offerings that helped seed the fund. In total, the sum demanded came out to about $7.5 billion.

We know now that senior Goldman bankers, including then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, signed off on the deals, ignoring warnings from the compliance department about Malaysia's point man for the project, the mysterious financier Jho Low. Which may explain why even the DOJ is now rushing to get this episode in the history books.

Low is now an international fugitive, and at least one Goldman banker has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government; a settlement could be announced as soon as next month (though the bank also faces charges in Malaysia), although BBG's sources warned that the terms of the deal could change.

It's unclear from the report whether the DoJ will also seek a guilty plea from the bank, which could be a game-changer if it happens.

The notion that the DoJ is going easy on Goldman is hardly a surprise. Attorney General William Barr has reportedly directly involved himself in the case, which is unusual because his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, represents Goldman, and Barr had to secure a waiver to excuse this conflict.

But this type of special treatment would be nothing new to Goldman: After all, its alumni occupy some of the most powerful jobs in the world. Goldman is the very definition of 'too big to jail'.

Busted Billion-Dollar Bagholders Hire Private Eyes To Probe Goldman-Led Airline Bailout

Several years ago, when ZIRP and NIRP was (again) raging, investors jumped at the chance to buy $1.2 billion in bonds whose proceeds wound up with a cluster of airlines linked to Etihad Airlines. As Bloomberg details, the deal was unusual in several ways: Goldman had teamed up with two relatively obscure brokerages and controversial German financier Lars Windhorst was helping structure the deal behind the scenes.

Ultimately, the deal wound up going bust and a group of creditors has now hired a private eye firm to dig out the details into how the deal came together, including the roles played by Windhorst, Goldman and others.

The deal and its ensuing investigation are bad PR for Goldman Sachs and highlight the company's "willingness to raise large pools of capital in unorthodox or risky deals." It also pairs the company with Windhorst, who has been under scrutiny in recent weeks especially over his role in the blow up of the ill-named H20 fund.

Roger King, an analyst at research firm CreditSights said:

"There were a lot of strange characteristics. It was a bizarrely complicated deal. A hairy deal no matter who brought it."

One of the main questions about the deal was why did Goldman Sachs step in after another notoriously law-breaking bank, HSBC, dropped out. The financing likely wouldn't have taken place without the help of a global bank.
Now, creditors including investment managers BlueBay Asset Management and Gramercy Funds Management have enlisted private investigators to help them push for maximum recoveries from the busted bonds. While it is not unheard of for bondholders to hire intelligence companies for due diligence purposes, it's relatively rare that they will employ them in these types of scenarios.

Etihad had an issue in 2015. It had bought stakes in several smaller airlines but some of them, like Air Berlin, kept bleeding cash. Windhorst, who was once the airlline's largest shareholder, was looking to help fix these issues. He proposed that a special purpose vehicle close to Etihad could sell bonds and then turn around to slice up the proceeds to many of the smaller carriers. Those companies would then pay back the special purpose vehicle.

Anoa, a small brokerage that was contracted to work out the details by Windhorst, was an affiliated company of his investment arm. Anoa has since gone bust and its former CEO is now the CEO of Windhorst's private investment vehicle. Anoa helped design the transaction but it lacked fundraising firepower. HSBC was initially recruited to lead the deal, but the bank suddenly and inexplicably dropped out before the sale. It was reportedly the participation of Anoa that caused HSBC's skepticism. Others wondered whether or not the smaller brokerage would be able to commit to carrying out the complex transaction.

That's when Goldman Sachs stepped in.

The deal needed to be cleared many times over at Goldman because of its complexity and because of the involvement of a sovereign entity, Abu Dhabi. Windhorst's involvement was also an issue.
The SPV issued its first set of junk rated bonds in the amount of $700 million in September 2015. In April 2016, Senior Etihad executives and a Goldman Sachs banker were given an industry award for the structuring of the plan. Two months after that, the financing team raised another $500 million, bringing the total to $1.2 billion. 93.5% of the proceeds went to the airline group.

However, right after that last deal, things began to go south. Smaller airlines in the partnership like Air Berlin, Alitalia and Jet Airways fell victim to their financial woes and the bonds created. At the same time, Etihad decided it was no longer going to support the affiliate airlines and instead embarked on a management overhaul.

The bond offering documents didn't explicitly guarantee support from Etihad, but there was always an "implicit understanding" that they would be there for support if needed.
And now, the investor group in the bonds is left holding the bag with no choice left but to hire law firms and private investigators to try and maximize their recoveries.

Goldman's dealings with Windhorst were formerly the topic of a lawsuit by a former executive, Chris Rollins. Seth Redniss, a lawyer for Rollins said: "Whether in public or private, the evidence shows that top execs allowed these very large, risky deals to happen."

In other words, the buck - as in the case of 1MDB - stopped with none other than Lloyd Blankfein… who conveniently retired last year just as the heat was starting to build.

Isn't it neat that all these people in the Trump admin went to party in the Hamptons at the home of the Senior Associate Editor of WAPO?

Editor Lally Weymouth's annual Hamptons bash turned into somewhat of a dad dance-off between top White House aides Rudy Giuliani, 75, and Wilbur Ross, 81.

We're told Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, took to the dance floor with his alleged mistress (just a friend, says Rudy) Maria Rosa Ryan, as US Secretary of Commerce Ross cut a rug with glamorous wife Hilary Geary Ross, to the sounds of a big band staged by the host at her lavish Southampton home.

It seemed Ross' indefatigable dance moves were in no way mitigated by the Supreme Court's rebuke to his effort to add a citizenship question to the census.

Yet one guest told us, "However bad you might imagine Rudy's dance moves might be, he was upstaged by Wilbur who looked like a skeleton doing the 'Happy Feet' dance."

Other guests included Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lloyd Blankfein, Pepe Fanjul, Carl Icahn, Ronald Lauder, John Paulson, Gary Cohn, Anthony Scaramucci and current counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway - without her lawyer husband George Conway, who was busy posting on Twitter about the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's 2002 claim that the pedophile was a "terrific guy."

The Journal said that during what it described as 10 critical days of the crisis in July, Cayne was playing in a bridge tournament in Nashville, Tenn., without a cell phone or an email device.

Cayne shot back in a memo to Bear Stearns employees that he "stands by" his 14-year record at the firm and that allegations of "inappropriate conduct" are "absolutely untrue."

The paper also reported that Cayne has sometimes smoked marijuana after bridge tournaments, citing attendees at the tournaments, although the paper did not say whether he did so in Nashville in July.

Cayne denied one specific alleged incident in 2004 that the paper asked about, but it reported that when it asked more generally whether he smoked pot during bridge tournaments or on other occasions, he said he would respond only "to a specific allegation."

In addition for much of the summer the paper reports he typically left the office on Thursday afternoon and played golf at his New Jersey club on Friday, once again out of touch for stretches. The paper cites unnamed associates and golf club records.

Cayne was not using the golf rounds to conduct business, as many executives do, according to what those who played with him told the paper.

"The golf course for him was an escape," John Angelo, a hedge-fund client and frequent golf partner, told the Journal. Another playing partner, talk-show host Maury Povich, told the paper: "Believe it or not, many words are not exchanged about business."

During the Nashville bridge tournament, the paper reports that Cayne spoke with Bear Stearns (Charts, Fortune 500) executives by phone, then played bridge throughout the afternoon.
Merrill board: Too late to the game

The paper reports that Cayne's activities contrasted with intense efforts by other Wall Street CEOs during the credit crisis of the summer, including James Dimon of JP Morgan Chase (Charts, Fortune 500), Richard Fuld Jr. of Lehman Brothers (Charts, Fortune 500) and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs Group (Charts, Fortune 500)

Cayne, 73, wouldn't comment on his activities away from the office when asked by the paper. Other executives defended his involvement in the firm to the paper.

"Anyone who thinks that Jimmy Cayne isn't fired up every day and ready to get to work hasn't been living in my world," Bear Stearns President Alan Schwartz told the paper.

Samuel Molinaro Jr., Bear's chief operating and financial officer, also told the paper, "I've never had a problem reaching him."

But Angelo told the paper that Cayne follows his club's policy which prohibits carrying a cell phone or email device while golfing.

Filings with the SEC show that in 2006 Cayne received $33.9 million, and as of Jan. 31 held 6.4 million shares in the firm, equal to 5.3 percent of shares outstanding. That gave him more than a $1 billion stake in the company at that time, although shares have plunged more than 30 percent since that time.

Bear Stearns shares fell another 4 percent in morning trading Thursday following the Journal report, although a broad sell-off in the market was hitting the shares of other brokerage firms as well.

Warren Spector, who at the time was co-president of Bear Stearns, also was at the Nashville bridge tournament with Cayne in July, the paper reported. He oversaw Bear Stearns Asset Management, the division that included the two hedge funds that lost billions during the crisis by making bad bets on securities backed by subprime mortgages.

The paper said that after Cayne returned to New York from the tournament, he called Spector on Aug. 1 and said that he had lost confidence in him and that he should resign. The paper, citing people familiar with his thinking, said that Cayne was annoyed that Spector had been away from the office during the fund crisis. Spector's resignation was announced Aug. 5

US Probing Deutsche Bank's Dealings With Malaysia's 1MDB After Goldman Throws It Under The Bus

When it rains inside the halls of Deutsche Bank, the flood is biblical.

Just when it seemed that the biggest (if not for long) German bank, already reeling from the biggest mass layoffs since Lehman, couldn't possibly bear any more bad news, along comes the US government with yet another potentially criminal investigation, this time over Deutsche Bank's involvement with the sprawling, multibillion-dollar Malaysian development fraud scandal that toppled a prime minister, crippled Goldman Sachs stock and stretched from Hollywood to Wall Street.

According to the WSJ, the DOJ is investigating whether the German bank violated foreign corruption or anti-money-laundering laws in its work for the 1Malaysia Development Bhd. fund, or 1MDB, which included helping the fund raise $1.2 billion in 2014 as concerns about the fund's management and financials had begun to circulate.

So how did Deutsche Bank get thrown into yet another scandal? It turns out that DB was snitched out by former Goldman banker, Tim Leissner, the man who was ground zero in the original 1MDB scandal, and who ended up costing Goldman billions in dollar in market cap as its stock tumbled last year as its role in the biggest Malaysian corruption scandal got exposed, and according to some, cost Lloyd Blankfein his job. As it turns out, Leissner is now cooperating with authorities, and among his "good Samaritan" duties decided to throw the one bank that has more dirt on it than Goldman: Deutsche Bank. As we have reported extensively in the past, prosecutors have been investigating similar issues at Goldman, where Leissner, a former managing director, pleaded guilty last year and admitted to earlier helping siphon off billions of dollars from the fund.

For those who are unfamiliar, a quick rundown of events: 1MDB, a sovereign wealth fund, turned into a major global scandal after billions of dollars were drained from it between 2009 and 2014, leading to multiple government investigations and the downfall of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak who was especially close with former US president, Barak Obama.

The DOJ has said the stolen money totals at least $4.5 billion and that it was used to pay bribes to government officials, pad a slush fund controlled by the former prime minister and purchase hundreds of millions of dollars in luxury goods including jewelry, artwork and real estate.

So yes, one should have probably expected Deutsche Bank to be involved.

But what does Goldman, and Leissner, get in exchange? Apparently a settelment. From the WSJ:

Meanwhile, the Justice Department is set to begin negotiations with Goldman soon to try to resolve allegations through a possible criminal settlement, a senior official said. "We do anticipate getting into active discussions with Goldman, at this point, in the near future," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski, who runs the agency's criminal division, said in an interview. He declined to comment on any other aspect of the 1MDB investigation.

The Globalists

The global elite march in four essential columns: Corporate, Academic, Political and Organized Religion. In general, the goals for globalism are created by Corporate. Academic then provides studies and white papers that justify Corporates goals. Political sells Academic's arguments to the public and if necessary, changes laws to accommodate and facilitate Corporate in getting what it wants. Organized Religion along with church and state secures corporate, academic and political rule into a global order.

Key Players of the One World Order
(In order of importance)

1: Lord Jacob de Rothschild. 2: His son Nathaniel. 3: Baron David de Rothschild 4: Sir Evelyn de Rothschild 5: Benjamin de Rothschild 6: David Rockefeller Jr. 7: Henry Kissinger 8: George Soros 9: Lloyd Blankfein

The power behind the Committee of 300 is the Anglo-Jewish cousin-hood that dominate the financial and political systems of the world. This cousin-hood includes the Rothschild, Rockefeller, Oppenheimer, Goldsmid, Mocatta, Montefiore, Sassoon, Warburg, Samuel, Kadoorie, Franklin, Worms, Stern and Cohen families.

"The United States is owned and dominated today by a hierarchy of its sixty richest families, buttressed by no more than ninety families of lesser wealth... These families are the living center of the modern industrial oligarchy which dominates the United States, functioning discreetly under a de jure democratic form of government behind which a de facto government, absolutist and plutocratic in its lineaments, has gradually taken form since the Civil War. This de facto government is actually the government of the United States - informal, invisible, shadowy. It is the government of money in a dollar democracy." - Ferdinand Lundberg

America's 60 Families
https://www.nndb.com/lists/439/000127058/
These families hold monopolies over the worldwide banking system, entertainment industry, food industry, oil and gas industry, shipping industry, metals and mining industry. Through this domination of the financial markets they pull the strings of every government in the world.

The cousin-hood believes in a form of Babylonian Talmudic Judaism. The Babylonian Talmud and Shulchan Aruch contain the legal code which is the basis of today's Judaism and Jewish law. In fact, Talmudic Judaism is primarily a legal system in a literal sense. It has little to do with religion and is more of an ancient political cult group with many followers who are not openly Jewish. This is why so many Jews openly claim to be Jewish and atheist at the same time.

Sovereigns and Popes, both, usually had one or more Jews as astrologers and advisers, and they frequently gave Jews control over their very life by employing them as physicians. Political power was thus gained by Jews in almost every Gentile nation along with financial power, since Jewish court-bankers manipulated state funds and taxes.

You will find that approximately 90% of people in the world today who call themselves Jews are actually Khazars, or as they like to be known, Ashkenazi Jews.

You are probably aware of the centuries old practice undertaken by many Ashkenazi Jews whereby they would change their name, in order for them to appear part of the dominant race of the country in which they lived, so as they could obtain influential positions in that country, which they would then exploit to serve their real masters elsewhere.

"The Rothschilds are the wonders of modern banking... We see the descendants of Judah, after a persecution of two thousand years, peering above kings, rising higher than emperors, and holding a whole continent in the hollow of their hands. The Rothschilds govern a Christian world. Not a cabinet moves without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease, from Petersburg to Vienna, from Vienna to Paris, from Paris to London, from London to Washington. Baron Rothschild, the head of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the captivity, the Messiah so long looked for by this extraordinary people. He holds the keys of peace or war, blessing or cursing... They are the brokers and counselors of the kings of Europe and of the republican chiefs of America. What more can they desire?" - Niles Weekly Register, 1835-1836

Banning Buybacks Would Crash The Market, Goldman Warns
(Op-ed) and two additional articles explaining how and what this is used for

Few topics prompt as powerful (and violent) a response from financial professionals as what the role of financial buybacks is in determining stock prices. One group, largely those bulls who after a decade of central bank.
Manipulation still believe that markets are efficient and unrigged, and in hope of increasing their AUMs claim that they are financial geniuses for riding the world's biggest financial bubble in history, argue that stock buybacks have no impact on stock prices. Others, those who actually understand that if there is a trillion dollars in price indiscrimiante stock bids (as was the case in 2018 and will again happen in 2019) is the single most effective way to boost stock prices (and management's incentive-linked comp, linked to higher stock prices), know - correctly - that corporate buybacks, which until not too long ago were banned, and which over the past decade emerged as the single biggest source of stock purchases, are one of the two most important factors behind the all time highs in the stock market ==(the other being the Fed, whose policies have allowed companies to issue debt with record low yields, allowing them to fund these trillions in buybacks)==
And while Goldman tried, to demonstrate that "executives whose compensation depends on EPS, did not allocate a higher proportion of 2018 total cash spending to buybacks than companies where management pay is not linked to EPS", the bank was forced to admit that last year buybacks did surpass capex as the biggest use of capital allocation.

Goldman's valiant effort to halt regulatory and legislative focus on buybacks - which also included Goldman's ex-CEO Lloyd Blankfein issuing a rebuttal defending the practice on Twitter, saying the money "gets reinvested in higher growth businesses that boost the economy and jobs" did little however to stem the tide and as a result buybacks have been getting increasing scrutiny in the wake of the tax reforms in late 2017, when companies used money saved from the lower taxes as well as repatriated cash to return money to shareholders in record amounts, with total announced buybacks surpassing $1 trillion for the first time in 2018
(of course he would say this!)

As a result, Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida released a plan last month that would curb buyback incentives(about time). Democratic Senator Chris van Hollen of Maryland may propose legislation curbing executive share sales after repurchase announcements. The culmination - so far - was the US Senate convening hearings and introducing legislation to prohibit public companies from repurchasing their shares on the open market.

This was too much for Goldman, which realized that the carrot approach is not working, and late on Friday went all "stick", when one month after his first report exposing buyback "misconception", Goldman's David Kostin doubled down, effectively warning that a ban on buybacks would likely result in a market crash, as "eliminating buybacks would immediately force firms to shift corporate cash spending priorities, impact stock market fundamentals, and alter the supply/demand balance for shares."

And just to underscore his dire warning, Kostin said that from a portfolio strategy perspective, "the potential restriction on buybacks would likely have five implications for the US equity market: (1) slow EPS growth; (2) boost cash spending on dividends, M&A, and debt paydown; (3) widen trading ranges; (4) reduce demand for shares; and (5) lower company valuations."
see cap 2
So as Goldman turns from a carrot to a stick approach, one can summarize the latest Goldman report by observing that very bad things will happen if Congress proceeds with its intentions to ban buybacks. There is a silver lining: while Goldman previously sided with the generally clueless segment of "financial experts", claiming that the impact of buybacks on stocks is at best muted, now that buyback legislation is becoming an increasingly greater threat by the day, Goldman can finally admit the truth: without buybacks the market will crash.

And with Goldman's abrupt and honest reversal, we are confident that the debate whether buybacks influence stocks or not, can finally be laid to rest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Dimon

Dimon donates primarily to the Democratic Party.[38] In May 2012, he described himself as "barely a Democrat"[39] stating,

I've gotten disturbed at some of the Democrats' anti-business behavior, the attacks on work ethic and successful people. I think it's very counterproductive. … It doesn't mean I don't have their values. I want jobs. I want a more equitable society. I don't mind paying higher taxes. … I do think we're our brother's keeper but I think that attacking that which creates all things, is not the right way to go about it.[39]

After Obama won the 2008 presidential election, there was speculation that Dimon would serve in the Obama Administration as Secretary of the Treasury. Obama eventually named the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Timothy Geithner, to the position.[40]

Following the acquisition of Washington Mutual by JPMorgan Chase, Obama commented on Dimon's handling of the real-estate crash, credit crisis, and the banking collapse affecting corporations nationwide, including major financial institutions like Bank of America, Citibank, and Wachovia (now Wells Fargo).

You know, keep in mind, though there are a lot of banks that are actually pretty well managed, JPMorgan being a good example, Jamie Dimon, the CEO there, I don't think should be punished for doing a pretty good job managing an enormous portfolio.[41]

Dimon has had close ties to some people in the Obama White House, including former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.[42] Dimon was one of three CEOs-along with Lloyd Blankfein and Vikram Pandit-said by the Associated Press to have had liberal access to former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.[43][44] Nonetheless, Dimon has often publicly disagreed with some of Obama's policies.[45]

On the May 15, 2012, episode of ABC's The View, Obama responded to a question from Whoopi Goldberg regarding JPMorgan Chase's recently publicized $2 billion trading losses by defending Dimon against allegations of irresponsibility, saying, "first of all, JP Morgan is one of the best managed banks there is. Jamie Dimon, the head of it, is one of the smartest bankers we've got", but added, "it's going to be investigated".[46]

In December 2016, Dimon joined a business forum assembled by then president-elect Donald Trump to provide strategic and policy advice on economic issues.[47]

London Whale
In the case of the 2012 JPMorgan Chase trading loss, according to a US Senate report published in March 2013 after 9 months of investigation,[48] Dimon misled investors and regulators in April as losses rose dangerously to $6.2 billion on a "monstrous" derivatives bet made by the so-called "London Whale" Bruno Iksil. According to Carl Levin, chairman of this panel, JP Morgan had "a trading operation that piled on risk, ignored limits on risk taking, hid losses, dodged oversight and misinformed the public". Dimon dismissed press accounts of possible losses in Iksil's book as a "tempest in a teapot" on April 13, 2012 when he knew that Iksil had already lost $1 billion, which led Levin to say "None of those statements made on April 13 to the public, to investors, to analysts were true," and "The bank also neglected to disclose on that day that the portfolio had massive positions that were hard to exit, that they were violating in massive numbers key risk limits."[49][50]

Dimon corrected that wrong information a month later, in May 2012, before the true damage was revealed, after US Securities and Exchange financial watchdog started reviewing the losses.[51]

Fed Bans Ex-Goldman Bankers Leissner, Ng From Ever Working In The Industry

While Goldman has mostly recovered from the 1MBD corruption scandal which sent its stock price crashing late last year, its former bankers have yet to face the music, and earlier today former Goldman bankers in charge of the bank's Malaysia relationship, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng, were banned from the banking industry by the Federal Reserve for their role in helping divert billions of dollars from Malaysia's den of thieves, also known as the country's sovereign wealth fund, 1 MDB.

Leissner and Ng arranged bond offerings that allowed funds to be diverted from 1MDB, the Fed said in a Tuesday statement, with some of the money used to bribe government officials in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi, while criminals also used proceeds to pay for lavish lifestyles, the regulator claimed.

Leissner, who agreed to the Fed's permanent ban, was fined $1.42 million, according to the statement. Playing the scapegoat role to a T, Leissner had already pleaded guilty to charges brought by the U.S. Justice Department, including conspiring to launder money. In October, Leissner's deputy at Goldman Sachs, Roger Ng was indicted on similar charges. As we reported last month, Malaysia said it will extradite Ng to the U.S. after he has completed legal proceedings in local courts.

As Bloomberg previously reported, the Fed had ramped up its investigation into how Goldman Sachs bankers dodged the firm's internal controls to raise billions for 1MDB that later went missing, while apparently avoiding a scandal that shook the banking industry several years ago when the NY Fed was secretly leaking regulatory information to, who else, Goldman Sachs.

The Fed accused Leissner of participating in a scheme with Malaysian businessman Low Taek Jho and others to divert money from "several" 1MDB transactions, including three bond offerings underwritten by Goldman Sachs in 2012 and 2013, according to an order dated March 11. Low, a controversial financier, has been accused of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars from the Malaysian fund and using some of it to buy gifts for famous models and film actors.

Leissner in August pleaded guilty to U.S. charges that he conspired to launder money and violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. As part of the charges, he agreed to forfeit $43.7 million and admitted to bribing officials in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates to get bond deals for Goldman Sachs.

Leissner said he and others arranged the 1MDB fundraising as debt offerings because it would generate higher fees for the bank. He has said his behavior was in line with the "culture of Goldman Sachs to conceal facts from certain compliance and legal employees."

So far former Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who quit as Goldman CEO just as the scandal was ramping up, has not been indicted.

As part of the charges, he agreed to forfeit $43.7 million and admitted to bribing officials in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates to get bond deals for Goldman Sachs.

Leissner said he and others arranged the 1MDB fundraising as debt offerings because it would generate higher fees for the bank. He has said his behavior was in line with the "culture of Goldman Sachs to conceal facts from certain compliance and legal employees."

So far former Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who quit as Goldman CEO just as the scandal was ramping up, has not been indicted.

http://static2.businessinsider.com/tim-cook-and-mark-zuckerberg-meet-with-china-president-xi-jinping-in-beijing-2017-10

SHANGHAI - Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday at an annual gathering of advisers to Beijing's Tsinghua University business school.
Xi was speaking with business leaders and officials at the meeting, the state broadcaster China Central Television reported. Cook and Zuckerberg are on the advisory board of the Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.
The meeting comes at a particularly key time for Apple as it prepares to launch its much-anticipated iPhone X on Friday, amid hopes the anniversary smartphone can revive the firm's sales in the world's second-largest economy.
Tsinghua's business school, founded in 1984, has seen scores of top Chinese and foreign industry leaders sit on its board, including the head of China's central bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
Facebook's Zuckerberg has also been very active in China, eager to get his popular social network unblocked in the world's most populous nation, where it has been banned since 2009 and held behind the country's so-called Great Firewall.
An Apple spokeswoman said the firm couldn't "comment on Tim's schedule and or meetings." Facebook confirmed Zuckerberg was in Beijing but declined to comment on details of his visit.
In a post on his Facebook page on Saturday, Zuckerberg wrote he was in Beijing for the annual meeting. "Every year this trip is a great way to keep up with the pace of innovation and entrepreneurship in China," he said.

Feb 4 - The Wall Street firm says it'll withhold 2018 pay for CEO David Solomon, predecessor Lloyd Blankfein and others if there's more bad news on 1MDB. The board already had such power, but clarifying that clawbacks aren't time-constrained or for punishment only is welcome.

Goldman execs may have pay cut over Malaysian fund scandal

Goldman Sachs Group's board is taking steps to slash its top executives' 2018 compensation, depending on the outcome of investigations into the investment bank's role in the ransacking of a multibillion-dollar Malaysian state investment fund.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Friday, Goldman said the board can reduce the size of 2018 stock-based awards granted to its senior executives if it determines that the results of the investigation into the Malaysian fund scandal would have prompted Goldman's compensation committee to reduce its top executives' stock awards.

Such a scenario could affect CEO David Solomon and Chairman and former CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who are slated to receive $15.4 million and $14.3 million in restricted stock, respectively, as part of their compensation for 2018.

1MDB scandal prompts Goldman to delay bonus for longtime CEO Blankfein

Goldman Sachs is delaying bonus payouts to three retired executives, including longtime chairman Lloyd Blankfein, until it gathers more details from a bribery case brought against two high-ranking bankers under his watch, according to regulatory filings and a person familiar with the matter. The New York-based company's board also delayed a decision on the size of the bonuses, part of an incentive plan set up in 2011 with potential awards of $7 million each, according to a Friday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Goldman warned last fall that it may face significant fines and other sanctions in the case, which centers on claims that money from a Malaysian client's bond sale was used for bribes to secure overseas business.

The Wall Street firm said in a filing last fall that it "is cooperating with the Department of Justice and all other government and regulatory investigations related to 1 Malaysia Development Berhad," a sovereign wealth fund known as 1MDB, for which Goldman underwrote about $6.5 billion in debt offerings in 2012 and 2013. The 64-year-old Blankfein, who stepped down as CEO at the end of September but remained chairman through the end of 2018, still received $20.5 million in total compensation for the year, the firm said its filing. David Solomon, who succeeded him in both roles, was paid $23 million. "We are cooperating with the Department of Justice and other regulators and are focused on a timely but deliberative process," Solomon told investors on an earnings call in mid-January. "We have established important facts in our own review of this matter over the last three years, and we, of course, would like to provide more information to you but for now, this is still an open investigation."

Goldman previously made national headlines and drew congressional scrutiny nine years ago over the sale of securities blamed for the 2008 financial crisis. It paid $550 million to settle SEC claims that it misled investors in one of the instruments.

NEW YORK: Former Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein met with a man at the centre of the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) corruption scandal involving former Malaysia Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, a person close to the matter confirmed to AFP.

The US Justice Department charged three people in the case last week, two of them former Goldman bankers, and said a "high-ranking executive" of the bank was present at a Nov 2009 meeting with Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low - an alleged mastermind and intermediary to the Malaysian fund.

Malaysia To Goldman: Pay Us $7.5 Billion And We Will Drop 1MDB Charges

The Malaysian government has a message for Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon: Your disingenuous, blame-deflecting apology for Goldman's role in one of the biggest financial frauds ever perpetrated in Asia isn't going to cut it.

According to Bloomberg, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng told reporters on Friday that Malaysian prosecutors might consider dropping the criminal charges brought last month against the bank, several Asian subsidiaries and two of its employees (who have also been indicted in the US) if the bank agrees to pay back the total amount that the Malaysian government believes was looted during the fraud.

That amount? A staggering $7.5 billion.

"Goldman Sachs should understand the agony and the trauma suffered by the Malaysian people as a result of the 1MDB scandal," Lim said in the administrative capital of Putrajaya. "An apology is just not sufficient. Not enough. There must be the necessary reparations and compensations."

Earlier this week, Solomon apologized to the Malaysian people during an earnings call with analysts, where he blamed senior banker Tim Leissner (who is now believed to be cooperating with federal authorities to testify about the bank's "culture of corruption") for the scandal and claimed Malaysia was "defrauded by many individuals" who - as was implied - just happened to work at Goldman Sachs.

Lim characterized Solomon's apology as "insufficient", presumably because media reports have revealed that senior Goldman execs, including former CEO Lloyd Blankfein blithely ignored concerns raised by the bank's compliance department and did everything in their power to court Malaysia's business (Blankfein himself was involved in several meetings with then-Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is now awaiting trial on corruptoin charges, and fugitive financier Jho Low, who is believed to have masterminded the scheme).

Goldman earned $600 million in fees on the $6.5 billion in bonds it underwrote for 1MDB, which was launched by Razak as a sovereign wealth fund intended to fund public works projects.

"At least he accepted that they have to bear and shoulder some responsibility," Lim said, referring to Solomon. "That apology of course goes some way toward that, but that is insufficient."

While Leissner is cooperating with authorities in the US, his former subordinate, senior Asian banker Roger Ng, is being held in Malaysia.

Of course, Lim, as the country's finance minister, isn't authorized to cut deals with Goldman. That authority is reserved by Attorney General Tommy Thomas, the country's top prosecutor, who brought the criminal case against Goldman.

Malaysia Files Criminal Fraud Charges Against Goldman Sachs

In an unprecedented move that possibly foreshadows similar charges from the US DOJ - and lots of headaches for the "recently retired" Lloyd Blankfein - the Malaysian attorney general has filed criminal charges against Goldman Sachs - targeting two of the investment bank's Asian subsidiaries and two former Goldman bankers who have already been charged by the US (former Southeast Asia head Tim Leissner and banker Roger Ng), accusing the investment bank of violating the country's securities laws by lying in bond agreements for three deals that raised $6.5 billion for 1MDB, a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund formed under former Prime Minister Najib Razak that US authorities believe was looted for upwards of $4 billion by corrupt bankers and officials.

While authorities in Singapore, Switzerland and elsewhere had already filed criminal charges against various banks involved with the scandal last year, the first charges against Goldman and its employees over their involvement in the scandal materialized two months ago when the DOJ indicted Leissner and Ng.

Shortly after the indictments, media reports revealed that senior Goldman executives - most notably, former CEO Lloyd Blankfein - were involved with the transactions. Blankfein attended at least three meetings with either Razak or disgraced Malaysian financier Jho Low, the allegedly corrupt financier who was also indicted by Malaysian authorities on Monday, even inviting Low to a private sit down at Goldman's 200 West Street headquarters. While pursuing the deal, Goldman employees - including Blankfein - brushed aside concerns raised by the bank's compliance department, and allowed Low to function as an unofficial intermediary between the bank and the Malaysian government, despite the bank's compliance department warning that Low was not to be trusted. The DOJ is also reportedly looking into the role of other senior Goldman bankers.

In a statement to the Financial Times, Tommy Thomas, Malaysia's attorney-general, alleged in a statement that Goldman received $600 million in fees for its role, a total that was "several times higher than the prevailing market rates and industry norms." Malaysia is demanding that Goldman forfeit all of the fees it was paid by the Malaysian government (which were paid at a higher-than-market rate to reflect certain "risks" related to the deal), as well as additional punitive money. While the DOJ has alleged that some $4.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB, Malaysian authorities are targeting $2.7 billion.

If there was any doubt that Goldman Sachs' compliance controls "don't work very well", as Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad wryly stated during an interview with CNBC last month, this should put it to rest. And as the Vampire Squid's lax compliance standards (the bank's compliance department was unwilling or unable to stop then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein from holding a one-on-one sit down with a shady Malaysian financier accused of stealing billions from the sovereign wealth fund, all in the name of landing a lucrative deal) have emerged as a focal point in a DOJ investigation into the bank's conduct.

Goldman Sachs gets downgraded on worries over fallout from 1MDB scandal

Adding insult to injury, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was downgraded by fellow broker Morgan Stanley, which cited "risks and uncertainties" surrounding the investigation into Goldman's role in the 1MDB scandal.

Analyst Betsy Graseck cut her rating to equal weight, after being at overweight for at least the past three years. She also slashed her stock-price target by 22% to $226, which is now the second lowest of the 29 analysts surveyed by FactSet, from $291.

The downgrade comes after the stock had already tumbled 17% since reports surfaced that Goldman's Chairman and former-Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein met with people involved in the 1MDB scandal, who had been indicted on a charge of conspiring to launder and steal money from a Malaysian sovereign-wealth fund, 1Malaysia Development Bhd.

Goldman's Blankfein Met With Jho Low, the Man at Center of the 1MDB Probe

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Lloyd Blankfein held a meeting in 2012 with Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, who is at the center of the country's fraud and bribery scandal.

The comments come after the New York Times reported that U.S. prosecutors are examining the meeting as part of a criminal investigation of the bank, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The newspaper reported that Goldman Sachs' then Chief Executive Officer Blankfein had a one-on-one encounter with Low, but that was denied by the bank.

"Blankfein had an introductory, high-level meeting in December 2012 with the CEO of Aabar, which was an existing client of the firm," Goldman Sachs said in a statement, referring to the Abu Dhabi investment fund. "At Aabar's request, Mr. Low accompanied the CEO to that meeting." He "does not recall any one-on-one meeting with Mr. Low nor have we seen any record to suggest such a meeting occurred."

The furor surrounding Goldman Sachs's role in raising money for the Malaysian state investment fund, known as 1MDB, has weighed on the bank's shares after Malaysia's finance minister said he would seek a full refund of all the fees it paid for 1MDB deals.

The U.S. alleges that a small group of Malaysians, led by Low, diverted money from 1MDB into personal accounts disguised to look like legitimate businesses, and kicked back some of those funds to officials. Goldman Sachs made $593 million working on three bond sales that raised $6.5 billion for 1MDB in 2012 and 2013, dwarfing what banks typically make from government deals.

Malaysia's Probe

Worldwide investigations into 1MDB have picked up speed since the previous Malaysian government was ousted in a May election and the new administration reopened domestic probes into the scandal. Former Malaysian leader Najib Razak now faces dozens of corruption and money-laundering charges linked to the state fund, whose full name is 1Malaysia Development Bhd. He has pleaded not guilty to the allegations.

1MDB never dealt directly with Low as all agreements and payments were made to relevant joint ventures such as PetroSaudi and Aabar, Najib said in a Facebook post Thursday. Low never worked for or represented 1MDB, and instead acted for "Arab parties," Najib wrote.

The former premier, who once chaired 1MDB's advisory board, said responsibility for detecting wrongdoing at the fund falls to its lawyers, auditors and Goldman, which arranged the bond sales where the proceeds were allegedly embezzled.

"The bank's responsibility is to ensure Malaysia's interest, so if they fail to ensure Malaysia's interests, they must be told that something is not right," he said in the post.

At least three senior current or former Goldman executives were implicated in the first charges against individuals by U.S. prosecutors.

Blankfein Met Privately With Fugitive At Center Of 1MDB Fraud In Goldman's HQ

Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has said he has "no recollection" of meeting corrupt Malaysian financier Jho Low. Maybe this will jog his memory.

Following reports published earlier this month that Blankfein attended two meetings with Low - an "introductory meeting" in 2009 and another meeting at the Mandarin Hotel in New York in 2013 with about 20 other Goldman bankers (now-jailed ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak also attended these meetings) - the New York Times on Thursday published a report revealing that Blankfein's involvement in securing 1MDB's business for the bank was even deeper than previously believed.

Back in December 2012, when the bank was still struggling with the legal fallout from its predatory sales of mortgage-backed securities during the run-up to the financial crisis, Blankfein met privately with Low at Goldman's headquarters in Lower Manhattan, according to three anonymous sources purportedly familiar with the details of the meeting, the NYT reported. The meeting occurred after the bank's compliance department had already objected to involving Low in any of its business dealings.

Since taking office last year, Macron has moved swiftly to implement reforms that give businesses new flexibility in hiring and firing workers and has reformed the rules governing independent workers to give entrepreneurship a boost. But he's also taken on the unofficial role of Head of Marketing for his country, never hesitating to proclaim, often in English, that "France is back!"

Those efforts have clearly been paying dividends, with the country enjoying what feels like an unprecedented wave of positive publicity from around the world as journalists discover the thriving French Tech scene. That's been helped by numbers that clearly show startups and venture capital on the rise in France.

But convincing tech giants to make big investments in the country has been another story. Although Facebook opened an AI research center in Paris a couple of years ago, and more recently opened an incubator in the Paris startup campus Station F, its team has remained stubbornly small. Google has developed a larger office in Paris, but one that has also seen measured growth.

On that front, however, Macron won a couple of significant victories at the corporate battle of Versailles, where Facebook and Google both announced their intention to increase investments in France.

Facebook now plans to increase its Paris AI team from 50 to 100 people by 2022 and plans to spend $12.2 million on new equipment, such as servers for hosting data for public agencies.

As volatility plunged during the QE era, sapping capital markets desks of badly needed brokerage revenues, Goldman Sachs started desperately searching for new clients to help make up the revenue hole. And for a while there, the investment bank thought it had found them in sovereign wealth funds. In a push to expand its sovereign wealth fund business, Goldman reorganized its network of bankers last year to better meet the needs of these politically sensitive funds, even hiring former White House foreign policy advisor Dina Powell to help oversee these relationships.

Now, with the long-simmering 1MDB scandal blowing up in the Vampire Squid's face, it appears all of the work that Goldman put in to try and court sovereign wealth funds could go to waste. In a sign that Goldman clients are taking their business elsewhere, Abu Dhabi-based International Petroleum Investment Co. and Aabar Investments PJS filed a lawsuit against Goldman in a New York court seeking unspecified damages over the bank's "central role" in 1MDB, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Both IPIC, a UAE sovereign wealth fund, claim they were harmed by Goldman when the bank bribed former managing director Khadem Al-Qubaisi and former Aabar Investments CEO Ahmed Badawy Al-Husseiny to help set up IPIC as an investment partner to 1MDB.

"Goldman Sachs conspired with others to bribe IPIC's and Aabar's former executives," the court filing said, referring to IPIC's subsidiary Aabar Investments PJS.

As WSJ pointed out in its reporting about the new lawsuit, which followed a petition filed by Malaysia asking the DOJ to help it recoup all of the $600 million in fees (plus an interest-rate differential) that it paid Goldman for the bond issues that helped seed 1MDB, the reputation damage could inspire sovereign wealth funds run by some of the UAE's neighbors to take their business elsewhere as well.

The move is a sign that the 1MDB scandal, a reputational black eye for Goldman, could spill over into its banking business. IPIC and its successor, Mubadala Investment Co., are longtime investment-banking clients, having hired Goldman for years to advise on and raise money for deals.

Any moves by Abu Dhabi to shift business away from Goldman could influence other governments in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, where it has a strong voice, according to people familiar with the bank's regional business.

Even before news of this lawsuit broke, Goldman's shares were already the worst-performing US banking stock of the year, and questions about the involvement of senior executives (including former CEO Lloyd Blankfein) raised the possibility that the DOJ's prosecution could go well beyond the two bankers that have already been arrested and charged (one of whom, Goldman's former Southeast Asia chief Tim Leissner, has agreed to cooperate). Given that Goldman (and most of the big investment banks) rarely face this level of public backlash over their misdeeds, it's hardly surprising that the bank's biggest rival Morgan Stanley indulged in some well-deserved schadenfreude when its equity analysts downgraded Goldman's shares and cut their rating to equal weight (with a price target of $226 a share, representing a nearly 20% upside to where Goldman's stock is currently trading). In its analysis, Morgan warned about other potential lawsuits related to 1MDB, according to CNBC.

"It is unclear how long the issue will take to resolve, what the fines and penalties could be, and what costs Goldman Sachs will subsequently incur to satisfy any demands from regulators," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Betsy Graseck. "These risks, coupled with potential headline risks in the coming months (additional lawsuits, additional regulatory probes, internal reviews), drive our Equal-weight rating."

Indeed, with so many parties involved (investors in 1MDB's bonds were left holding the bag when the fund defaulted), it's unlikely that Goldman's legal troubles will end here.

Q Research General #4948: 242 Years, And They Still Don't Understand Edition

Malaysian Prime Minister Fumes "Obviously We Have Been Cheated By Goldman Sachs"

Goldman Sachs famously avoided liability after the Libyan Investment Authority accused the bank of squandering more than $1.5 billion belonging to the country's sovereign wealth fund after the bank plied employees of the fund with "hookers and five-star hotels" before losing all of their money in complex derivatives trades. But as the DOJ ramps up an investigation into the bank's role in the sprawling 1MDB scandal (the federal government believes Goldman helped now-jailed former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak siphon $4.5 billion from the fund), it's looking like the bank (and possibly its ex-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, whose involvement in the scandal was recently revealed by Bloomberg) may not escape culpability this time.

Yesterday, Goldman shares cemented their largest two-day drop since 2010, crashing to a two-year low after Malaysian Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng demanded a "full refund" of the $600 million in fees that Goldman charged Malaysia for the three 1MDB bond offerings underwritten by the bank. Eng also demanded that Goldman repay the "interest-rate differential" that Malaysia paid, which was 100 basis points over the benchmark rate. Goldman has argued that it demanded such high fees because it took many of the unrated bonds on to its balance sheet, increasing its exposure, because Malaysia said it wanted the money "right away" for "development projects". Of course, Goldman had sold the local currency bonds long before 1MDB defaulted in April 2016.

And on Tuesday, Malaysia turned up the heat when the country's 93-year-old Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad accused Goldman bankers during an interview with CNBC of "cheating" Malaysia (though he also said the country wanted to "see the results" of the DOJ's investigation).

"There is evidence that Goldman Sachs has done things that are wrong," Mahathir said.

"Obviously we have been cheated through the compliance by Goldman Sachs people," he said, without specifying details.

The bank's compliance controls "don't work very well," he added.

A Goldman spokesman in Asia declined to comment on Mahathir's comments.

Meanwhile, Mahathir's appointed successor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Malaysian parliament that it needed to take "more aggressive measures" to reclaim the fees and losses "due to the effects on Malaysia's image".

Lloyd Blankfein Was the Unidentified Goldman Executive Present at 2009 1MDB Meeting

Years before Goldman Sachs Group Inc. arranged bond deals now at the heart of globe-spanning corruption probes, the firm's then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein personally helped forge ties with Malaysia and its new sovereign wealth fund, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Blankfein was the unidentified high-ranking Goldman Sachs executive referenced in U.S. court documents who attended a 2009 meeting with the former Malaysian prime minister, the people said. The meeting was arranged with the help of men who are now tied to the subsequent plundering of the 1MDB fund, according to U.S. court documents unsealed last week.

The meeting at the Four Seasons hotel in New York was set up and attended by two key figures in the 1MDB scandal, Malaysian businessman Jho Low and former Goldman partner Tim Leissner, one person with direct knowledge of the matter said, asking not to be identified as the information isn't public.

The high-level gathering laid the groundwork for a relationship that would prove profitable for the investment bank. Since then, the use of $6.5 billion that Goldman raised for 1MDB has sparked investigations across several nations, and entangled the U.S. bank in a high-profile corruption probe.

A spokesman for Goldman Sachs declined to comment on Blankfein's behalf. The bank has said it believed proceeds of debt sales it underwrote were for development projects and that Leissner withheld information from the firm.

Low's presence at the meeting with Blankfein, one of the most senior executives in global finance, illustrates the meteoric rise of a largely unknown financier who had managed to cultivate relationships with senior Malaysian government officials, including then-Prime Minister Najib Razak.

By the time of the meeting, Low's lavish spending habits were New York tabloid fodder. Starting about two months before the meeting, according to U.S. filings, Leissner and another Goldman banker began a years-long effort to bring Low aboard as a client, a request that compliance workers at the firm consistently denied.

There's no indication that Blankfein was aware of the internal assessments of Low, or knew the identities of all the people present at the meeting.

The documents filed by an FBI agent in June said that evidence supports Low was present at the meeting. The agenda for the November 2009 meeting was mapped out by Low and included a "debrief" with Najib and the "1MDB boys" after Goldman executives had left, the documents show.

Anons, this could be the reason Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs had to resign. He was present at the 1mdb meeting in 2009. For those that dont know, 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) is a state investment fund that came under investigation for alleged impropriety in July 2015, after reports emerged that investigators traced some US$700 million wired into Prime Minister Najib Razak's bank accounts. Both the fund and the premier denied wrongdoing, but the attorney general launched an investigation into alleged graft. 1MDB was 42 billion ringgit (HK$86 billion) in debt at the time of the scandal. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom were also involved in the scandal. Whos knows who else. Its a crazy story, they laundered at least $4.5B US. Since the meeting in 2009, Goldman raised 1mdb $6.5B US.

DOJ Investigates 'Mystery' Goldman Executive Involved In $4.5 Billion 1MDB Fraud

Last week, the DOJ filed the first round of criminal charges related to the massive international fraud that was the 1MDB scandal. US prosecutors allege that more than $4.5 billion was embezzled from the sovereign wealth fund, which was set up by the government of disgraced former Prime Minister Najib Razak, eventually leading the ransacked government fund to a default on nearly $2 billion of local currency bonds, briefly denting the value of the Malaysian ringgit. Holders of those bonds are still working on a restructuring deal with the fund. Meanwhile, former Goldman Sachs Southeast Asia Chief Tim Leissner has pleaded guilty to fraud charges and is expected to cooperate with authorities against other more-senior officials at the bank. One of his fellow bankers, Roger Ng, was arrested by Malaysian police and is expected to be extradited to the US. There's little doubt that the scandal, which Goldman has, in typical Goldman fashion, tried to pin on a "few rogue employees," will lead to massive fines and possibly other penalties. The bank admitted as much in a regulatory filing on Friday, even suggesting that "other sanctions" - code for a guilty plea for the bank or even more severe penalties levied by the Treasury - could be forthcoming, per Reuters. Leissner has already admitted that he accepted more than $200 million in stolen funds in an illegal kickback tied to the deal, as well as bribery charges related to his pursuit of the 1MDB deals. And as more details trickle out, the blithe disregard for US securities laws - and even the bank's own compliance department - attributed to Leissner and his team is looking even more galling.

All of this is happening at a terrible time for Goldman. It recently underwent a leadership transition, with longtime former CEO Lloyd Blankfein handing the reins to John Solomon, who is best known for moonlighting as an EDM DJ. Blankfein's former second-in-command, Gary Cohn, left the bank nearly two years ago to join the Trump Administration. And as the breadth of the scandal - and the likelihood that the bank's most senior employees may have looked the other way (though, to be sure, Blankfein has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of Goldman's role) - becomes increasingly apparent, the timing of Blankfein's exit is looking more and more suspect. Public perception polling shows that Goldman has never quite managed to shake the "Vampire Squid" moniker that it earned during the financial crisis, according to Bloomberg.

Fed Inspector Turned Whistleblower Reveals System Rigged For Goldman Sachs

Five years after we first reported on the "Goldman whistleblower" at the NY Fed, Carmen Segarra, the former bank examiner is out with a new book based on more than 46 hours of secret recordings.

"Noncompliant: A Lone Whistleblower Exposes the Giants of Wall Street" is a 340-page exposé which vastly expands on the breadcrumbs Segarra has been dropping since word of her recordings first came to light, according to the New York Post.

Segarra was a former bank examiner who looked into Goldman Sachs for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and claims she got fired in 2012 after making too much noise about Goldman's alleged conflicts.

The New York Fed has often been blasted for its lackadaisical approach to overseeing banks leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. Its last president, William Dudley, was named in 2009 after spending 21 years at Goldman. But Segarra's book claims that the problem persisted for years after the crisis, with regulators happy to act on the banks' behalf.

"We want [Goldman] to feel pain, but not too much," her boss - who goes by the pseudonym Connor O'Sullivan in the book - told her, Segarra claims. -NY Post

The recordings were made over a seven month period while Segarra worked at the New York Fed. Neither Goldman nor the NY Fed have disputed the authenticity of the tapes.

Central to allegations of shady reglulation was a 2012 deal in which energy giant Kinder Morgan would acquire rival El Paso Corp. for $21.1 billion - a deal which Goldman advised both sides of, while "its lead banker advising El Paso, Steve Daniel, owned $340,000 in Kinder Morgan stock" according to the Post.

That didn't matter to newly minted CEO David Solomon, who took over for Lloyd Blankfein last week.

"A conflict is a perception, OK, of something that could affect the advice you're giving, the judgment, et cetera," said Solomon during a secretly recorded meeting with the New York Fed. "Our job ... is to discuss those things and to work collectively with [clients] to decide whether or not those perceptions inhibit us."

Solomon made the comments after Delaware Judge Leo Strine referred to Goldman's double-dealing in the Kinder - El Paso deal "disturbing" and "tainted by disloyalty" when he reluctantly OK'd the deal (and despite a class-action lawsuit brought by El Paso shareholders, alleging that the deal was designed to benefit Goldman). The shareholders ultimately won a $110 million judgement, wiping out the $20 million it would have collected in fees.

Segarra describes the New York Fed as "conflict-ridden, with regulators trading on inside information from bankers they're supposed to keep in line," writes the Post.

When Segarra told one unnamed colleague that insider trading was illegal, he quipped, "Not if you don't get caught," according to the book.

Another boss, Michael Silva, pushed Segarra to gloss over the fact that Goldman didn't have a written conflict-of-interest policy, she claims. Silva, who now works in private practice, declined to comment.

Goldman spokesman Jake Siewert denied impropriety, telling the Post that "For decades we have had a dedicated team that reviews potential transactions to assess both potential conflicts and client sensitivities given the broad reach of our client franchise," and that "the firm takes that responsibility seriously, and the head of that group sits on our most senior leadership team."

Segarra's new book isn't the only bad press Goldman has received recently - after the New York Times reported in September that Solomon urged James Katzman, a former Goldman banker, to drop 2014 complaints that other traders tried to milk him for inside information. Solomon chalked Katzman's concerns up to nothing more than "the way Wall Street worked."

Goldman calls the exchange a miscommunication.

Meanwhile, the New York Fed says of Segarra's claims: "We continue to categorically reject Ms. Segarra's allegations from her brief seven-month tenure as a junior examiner almost seven years ago," according to spokeswoman Andrea Priest, who added that "the staff of the New York Fed work diligently and with the utmost integrity in the fulfillment of their responsibilities."

Then again, Goldman is paid a $50 million penalty to settle accusations that former banker Rohit Bansal took New York Fed analyst, Jason Gross, to Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn - while receiving secret examination documents in return. Both men received probation and paid fines.

Nancy Pelosi Measures House's Drapes from the Hamptons at Elite Soiree with Globalist Power Brokers

From the Hamptons on Long Island, New York, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is already plotting exactly what she intends to do should the House majority swing the Democrats' way in November.

Instead of focusing on the needs of American workers and policy objectives for the United States on Labor Day weekend, Pelosi was "spotted," along with Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), at a glorious gathering this Labor Day weekend in East Hampton hosted by Discovery Inc. CEO David Zaslav.

Per Politico's Playbook email, Pelosi and Schumer were hardly the only leftist stars at the power-studded event: Oprah Winfrey, the successful talk show host and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, as well as media elites like Katie Couric, ABC's George Stephanopoulos, NBC's Savannah Guthrie, and The View co-host Joy Behar were there.

It's not just media elites that Pelosi and Schumer were palling around with in the Hamptons this weekend. Also present, per Politico Playbook, was Goldman Sachs CEO and chairman Lloyd Blankfein-who still has not faced any consequences for his role in the financial crisis of 2008 despite apologizing for doing things he admitted were "wrong."

Cont. from images:
President Trump promised in 2016 that the forgotten men and women would be brought back into the economy. Now the July employment numbers, released Friday, confirm that those who have been left behind over the past two decades are beginning to find their places in their search for the American Dream.

America is getting back to work.

July 2018 marked the second-lowest number of unemployed Americans since before 9/11 in May of 2001, dropping to 6.28 million - 284,000 fewer that in the previous month.

What makes this low number of unemployed particularly impressive is that the total noninstitutional population has increased by more than 43 million since May 2001.

There are still two full months and a handful of days left between now and the election. Pelosi may want to be more careful in her planning in case Republicans, as many of them like to say they will, "defy history" and hold the House majority. If that happens, all her careful planning will be for naught-and she will have wasted all that precious time of all these elites she is hanging around with in the Hamptons.

Everybody is rushing to condemn AIG's bonuses, but this simple scandal is obscuring the real disgrace at the insurance giant: Why are AIG's counterparties getting paid back in full, to the tune of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars?

For the answer to this question, we need to go back to the very first decision to bail out AIG, made, we are told, by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, then-New York Fed official Timothy Geithner, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke last fall. Post-Lehman's collapse, they feared a systemic failure could be triggered by AIG's inability to pay the counterparties to all the sophisticated instruments AIG had sold. And who were AIG's trading partners? No shock here: Goldman, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, and on it goes. So now we know for sure what we already surmised: The AIG bailout has been a way to hide an enormous second round of cash to the same group that had received TARP money already

Just found this posted in a fascistbook group. Thoughts? Or did I just copy/pasta old news?
I'm going to make a post that might make me seem crazy, but I can't stop finding these weird connections. I've never thought of myself as a "conspiracy theorist" and am still rather new to the Q thing, but I'm always willing to keep an open mind.

A few days ago, I made a post here about Tom Hanks vacationing in Capri with his wife, Rita. I mentioned that it was interesting because I had just been having a conversation where I drew comparisons between Tiberius at Capri and what is being said that's going on now in Hollywood.
Capri was where Tiberius spent the last 12 years of his life, it was his own private island and it was extremely notorious; Tiberius had "minnows" who were small children that would run around naked for the use and amusement of his guests. These children were often thrown off the cliffs of Capri to their death, also for the amusement of his guests. It may be a beautiful place to visit, but it is a place with a very dark history, and it draws a lot of parallels to Epstein's private island.

In this Q post from last November, it mentions temples, what occurs in a temple, and worship. The first article a few days ago mentioned that Tom and Rita visited the Blue Grotto, which was Tiberius' personal swimming spot on Capri (meaning a lot of terrible stuff probably happened there) and it was also a temple to the Sea gods, such as Neptune and Titan.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6023925/Tom-Hanks-enjoys-relaxing-boat-ride-wife-Rita-Wilson-break-away-Italy.html

The next day there was another article about Tom and Rita staying aboard David Geffen's $200 million dollar yacht in Capri. Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if there was a Hollywood cult, I would imagine David Geffen to be pretty close to the top of it. In the article, it says they are joined by American investment banker and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and his wife Laura.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6029333/Tom-Hanks-PICTURE-EXC-Actor-62-joins-wife-Rita-Wilson-61-aboard-200M-yacht-Capri.html

Today there is an article about Oprah Winfrey, who is also currently staying aboard David Geffen's boat and vacationing in Capri.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6036753/Oprah-Winfrey-looks-effortlessly-chic-stylish-striped-shirt-shes-mobbed-fans-Italy.html

Last but not least, today there was another article today about Jennifer Lopez, who is currently vacationing in Capri with Alex Rodriguez, aboard a luxury yacht.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6037119/Jennifer-Lopez-49-cosies-beau-Alex-Rodriguez-luxury-yacht-Italy.html

Thank you if you've read this far. The question is, why are all of these people in Capri at the same time? A place with a notorious history of child abuse? I looked up ancient Roman festivals and there was one called Consualia, which was held around August 21st and was in honor of Neptune.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consualia
If there was a cult and they were honoring ancient pedophiles like Tiberius, this would probably be the time and place to do it. (I know it's a stretch, but it's still an odd coincidence.)

Finally, the ceiling of the cave/ temple in the Blue Grotto is in the shape of a blue dome, although I don't know why that would have significance. The name Tiberius is derived from a river.

It also reminds me of "Watch the Water".
Thanks for reading my crazy theory.

*EDIT*
It looks like we have more celebrities in Capri:

SS > A Pawn Played

I think Q is saying that SS is just another "pawn used", similar to his Gary Kohn/Lloyd Blankfein referemce:

Tied to Cohn.
It was not his choice.
Pawn used.
Q

Thus, the true author of the threat post believes he/she/they own SS and her "image"– even her fake reflected image.

Author believes "they" have the right to use her image/reflection anytime they want and for any purpose, as she is a fully owned and controlled subsidiary of the h'wood chapter of Club Cabal.

GOLDMAN SACHS CEO STEPS DOWN

Goldman Sachs replaces Lloyd Blankfein as CEO with a 56-year-old banker who moonlights as a DJ at clubs all over the world
David Solomon, otherwise known as DJ D-Sol, is to succeed Lloyd Blankfein
Will begin new role as CEO on October 1 and become Goldman chairman in 2019
The banker is known for his love of parties and is into electronic dance music
Goldman Sachs is replacing chief executive Lloyd Blankfein with a 56-year-old banker who moonlights as a DJ at clubs across the world.

David Solomon, otherwise known as DJ D-Sol, is to succeed Blankfein, 63, a Wall Street veteran of the financial crisis who is retiring as CEO of Goldman Sachs after 12 years at the helm of the investment bank.

Solomon, who was paid nearly $17 million in 2017, is a long-time Goldman executive who has been considered Blankfein's chosen successor since earlier this year.

He will begin his new role as CEO on October 1 and become chairman of Goldman in 2019.

Solomon's double life has seen him photographed with musicians such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, as the banker is known for his love of parties and is into electronic dance music.

He has performed at events in Miami, the Bahamas and Los Angeles, and believes in a healthy work-life balance.

Goldman Sachs Says Bitcoin "Is Not A Fraud," Plans To Begin Trading Within Weeks
oldman Sachs has said Bitcoin "is not a fraud" as it unveiled plans to buy and sell cryptocurrency, the New York Times reported May 2.

In a move which sets the investment banking giant apart from its Wall Street competitors, Goldman will initially offer various contracts with Bitcoin exposure before rumoredly entering the trading arena.

Commenting on the decision, Rana Yared, an executive involved in creating the offerings, said the bank had been "inundated" with client requests.

"It resonates with us when a client says, 'I want to hold Bitcoin or Bitcoin futures because I think it is an alternate store of value,'" she told the publication.

"…It is not a new risk that we don't understand. It is just a heightened risk that we need to be extra aware of here."

She added that Goldman "had concluded Bitcoin is not a fraud," a poignant statement in an industry where competitor JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's infamous description of Bitcoin still resonates.

Nonetheless, even Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein publicly stated Bitcoin "is not for him" during its all-time price highs in December 2017, and Yared appeared quick to dispel any myths that the bank was a 'Bitcoin believer.'

"I would not describe myself as a true believer who wakes up thinking Bitcoin will take over the world," she added.

"For almost every person involved, there has been personal skepticism brought to the table."

Demiurge Mind Kept in Prison

A Local Builder wants this person locked down so he can build up the village and make money

So Two Cell Towers were erected

American Tower owns one

Grain Management owns another

The Village's frequency is horrendous.. no energy

One of the Towers may be beaming into the brain of town members

Or keeping the village frequency is a low hertz state

On the Board is a Merrill Lynch employee Stanley O'Neal who worked with John Thain

Lloyd Blankfein.. Steve Wynn.. Obama

Find out who is behind this..

One company is based in Romney's Boston..

Another has a Dolan on the board.. The name Dolan means something

In 1994 a Dolan built a house for the building inspector Amoni

Was told Oprah was going to live there.. which i thought was weird

A Dude on one of the board's looks like a gay Tesla.. Nikola Trkulja

Providing one of the coolest men on the planet.. can be locked down with frequency

Was Born Lincoln.. and now i will never become the man i was meant to become

Because someone wanted to play God with frequencies

A Neighbor worked with The Walton Family.. who worked with the Clintons..

This is so political and technical that maybe only Elon Musk can figure it out

Not a Gram.. or a 33rd Piker.. but the Truman BRIC House.. is the Ark.. in the woods

1999 is when Macomb became Great.. and i rose from the ashes of a fire in 2000

Now you know.. why.. in a health situation.. energy will expand to everyone

When targeted by those corporations who desire profits and enclose a demiurge mind

The Entire World suffers

Maybe Vegas is the only Oxygen Rich.. Environment left.. for a man who was supposed to marry an Overprotected.. Elvis daughter who Speared my Eyes.. and Opened them.. when i saw her for the first time

Feels like the scene in Inception.. where two spiritual beings.. are sitting at a table..

Know which one truly has Merit.. The One who will declassify the frequency prison.. The USA is currently under

Why.. because i experienced it

When he dies, most of his assets will be bequeathed to the crown. He was able to get his kids good government jobs.

FULL ARTICLE Benjamin Fulford 3-12-18... "Japan's puppet government is next, as the dominoes keep falling"
Posted on 2018/03/15 by Kauilapele
Here is the full weekly report from Ben. Clearly, all the players, including Trump, are doing what they came here to do. Those who cannot see the very real planetary changes happening right now, may wish to ask the Creator for new eyes, or at least, new glasses.

It is happening, baby!

"The final defeat of the Khazarian mafia is now visible on the horizon as their world control grid continues to collapse. This is being seen most recently with dramatic political events in Italy, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. Soon we will also see change in the UK, France, Germany, and Israel, multiple sources agree.

"The biggest news in the past week was the announcement of a planned summit meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un. In fact, the two leaders already met in secret last November, according to Pentagon sources. The public announcement just means that an overall deal has been reached for reunifying the Korean Peninsula...

"In a related development, the Khazarian slave administration of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is about to be toppled. Rothschild slave Finance Minister Taro Aso is expected to resign first before Abe himself is removed, multiple sources agree.

"Japanese right-wingers associated with the Emperor say the entire secret establishment in Japan, including the Jesuit-controlled Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), has turned against the Abe regime and thus it is doomed.

"...neither the U.S. military nor the Chinese want to have any representatives of the Abe slave regime anywhere near the negotiations, according sources involved. The U.S. military is furious with the Japanese establishment because they have recently found out that Kobe Steel deliberately sabotaged U.S. military equipment by selling them faulty steel...

"The WDS, for its part, said the Japanese government (minus Abe and his cronies) must agree to the nationalization of the Bank of Japan, free and fair elections, and the announcement of a jubilee, including not only a cancellation of all debt but also a one-off redistribution of assets. As of this writing, no formal answer has been received to this request.

"In the U.S., meanwhile, the white hats continue to win big time. The biggest sign last week was the resignation of former Goldman Sachs CEO Gary Cohn as chief economic adviser to Trump. "The White House is now Goldman Sachs-free," a Pentagon source crowed. As a result of Cohn's fall, Lloyd Blankfein was forced out as CEO of Goldman Sachs, the source noted.

"The other big development in the U.S. last week was that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions "finally showed his fangs with a lawsuit against California and the release of documents to Congress concerning [former President Barack] Obama's Fast and Furious gun-running scheme." Speaking about Obama, Pentagon sources say U.S. Secretary Rex Tillerson flew to Kenya last week "to stop Obama from getting asylum."

"...Pentagon sources are now saying that "British Royal pedophilia rings in Buckingham and Westminster may be tied to UK, Australian, and Canadian donations to the Clinton Foundation at the direction of the Queen."... However, this writer has previously found that allegations against the Queen in relation to pedophilia in Canada were fabrications paid for by a member of the Rockefeller family. Events will prove the truth about these latest allegations.

"Regime change has also already come to Italy, where anti-EU and anti-establishment parties won a majority in last week's elections. This process will take some months, though, as elaborate negotiations continue both in parliament and among the secret societies. There is also a big move being made against the Rothschild slave government of Emmanuel Macron in France... In Germany as well, the old regime around Angela Merkel is barely clinging to power. However, CIA sources say plans are afoot to make everybody aware she is Hitler's daughter and they promise that her regime is doomed.

"The last domino to fall, though, will be Israel. Here, Israeli Police are closing in on satanic Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ostensibly for a corruption scandal. However, Netanyahu is a mass murderer and one of the chief architects of the March 11, 2011 Fukushima nuclear and tsunami attack against Japan.

"As usual, there is a lot we still cannot write about, but suffice it to say that secret negotiations aimed at freeing humanity are going on involving Russia, Iran, China, and the U.S. military. Thus, it is now just a matter of time before we have mass arrests and war crime tribunals, as well as a jubilee and a new meritocratic political and financial system controlled by and for the people."


Q = positive CIA, POTUS, Benjamin F., Julian A. ?

The biggest news in the past week was the announcement of a planned summit meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-un. In fact, the two leaders already met in secret last November, according to Pentagon sources. The public announcement just means that an overall deal has been reached for reunifying the Korean Peninsula, say these and Asian secret society sources. The deal, which will probably win a Nobel Prize for Trump as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping, will ensure that no U.S. troops are allowed to move North of the 38th parallel in a unified Korea, the sources say.
In a related development, the Khazarian slave administration of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is about to be toppled. Rothschild slave Finance Minister Taro Aso is expected to resign first before Abe himself is removed, multiple sources agree. In a visible sign this is imminent, Japanese television and newspapers are now in full scandal mode, reporting on how the Japanese government sold land at a huge discount to a school connected to Abe, his wife, plus a whole slew of politicians, and then lied about it.
https:// www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/03/12/national/politics-diplomacy/finance-ministry-admits-to-altering-moritomo-documents-says-references-to-abe-and-wife-were-deleted/#.WqYkz3yRVz8
https:// www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-12/japan-finance-minister-under-fire-as-abe-school-scandal-deepens
The real scandal, though, is that the Abe regime was building a bioweapons laboratory and factory disguised as the Kake veterinary school. This means the regime is guilty of war crimes and not just corruption. The school, by the way, was supposed to open this April but zero students applied to take its entrance exam.
Japanese right-wingers associated with the Emperor say the entire secret establishment in Japan, including the Jesuit-controlled Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), has turned against the Abe regime and thus it is doomed.
A member of the Abe Cabinet, who admitted his government was about to fall, was sent to meet with a representative of the White Dragon Society (WDS) last week to beg for the puppet regime in Japan to be allowed to continue to serve. He also begged that a member of the Abe Cabinet be allowed to sit in on ongoing negotiations between the U.S. military and the Chinese government about Japan's future "just to take notes."
However, neither the U.S. military nor the Chinese want to have any representatives of the Abe slave regime anywhere near the negotiations, according sources involved. The U.S. military is furious with the Japanese establishment because they have recently found out that Kobe Steel deliberately sabotaged U.S. military equipment by selling them faulty steel, Pentagon sources say. This is not going to go unpunished, they say.
The WDS, for its part, said the Japanese government (minus Abe and his cronies) must agree to the nationalization of the Bank of Japan, free and fair elections, and the announcement of...
a jubilee, including not only a cancellation of all debt but also a one-off redistribution of assets. As of this writing, no formal answer has been received to this request.
In the U.S., meanwhile, the white hats continue to win big time. The biggest sign last week was the resignation of former Goldman Sachs CEO Gary Cohn as chief economic adviser to Trump. "The White House is now Goldman Sachs-free," a Pentagon source crowed. As a result of Cohn's fall, Lloyd Blankfein was forced out as CEO of Goldman Sachs, the source noted.
This means that Trump's nationalist trade adviser, Peter Navarro, Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, is now the top economic honcho the White House. The announcement of an exemption from U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs for Canada and Mexico, but not for the EU or Japan, shows what the U.S. trade war policy is likely to be. Just as the military like to take out easy targets first, it is clear the trade warriors are targeting the EU and Japan in order to unify the West before taking on China. Of course, this is all negotiating bluster aimed at getting concessions and does not mean there will actually be a trade war.

ROBINHOOD FOUNDATION
http:// nymag.com/guides/money/2007/39959/

A dossier on the board of directors of the Robin Hood Foundation, where everybody either knows
a rock star or is rich enough to buy one.
I know this is an older article, however it is still relevant given
that most are still there and it gives good insight into the operation.

https:// nonprofitquarterly.org/2017/04/25/author-nonprofit-leader-wes-moore-takes-helm-robin-hood-foundation/

New CEO April of 4/17 Author and Nonprofit Leader Wes Moore Takes Helm of Robin Hood. The 38-year-old Moore is an Army veteran,
a graduate from Johns Hopkins University, and an Oxford Rhodes Scholar. He has spent six years in finance, written four books,
and founded a nonprofit, BridgeEdU, which he currently leads.

The RHF does not operate without controversy. Nearly 30 years old, the Robin Hood Foundation has
raised $2.5 billion from individuals and other foundations, but the donors it is most closely
identified with are hedge fund folks. Rick Cohen wrote about the cognitive dissonance in the wealth at the
core of the operation in 2015. He was covering a report issued by a group called The Hedge Clippers when he wrote,
"Annually, the Robin Hood Foundation holds a gala fund-raising dinner that generates some $50 million for its anti-poverty programs."
http:// hedgeclippers.org/hedgepapers-no-14-the-gift-of-greed-how-hedgefund-philanthropists-increase-inequality/
This paper evaluates the extent to which Paul Tudor Jones and other hedge fund managers backing the
Robin Hood Foundation are actually fueling poverty and inequality.

A few snippets:
"Poverty is a growth business."- Robin Hood Foundation founder Paul Tudor Jones[3]

Failure: The New York City poverty rate has increased over the course of the Robin Hood Foundation's history, from 20% in 1990 to 21.2% in 2012.

Success: The total wealth of the 19 billionaires on the Robin Hood Foundation's boards has skyrocketed 93% since 2008, to $164 billion.

Neither statistic appears in the Robin Hood Foundation's 142-page document spelling out its rigorous
evaluation system, which has been dubbed "relentless monetization."
The list of who's who is not surprising, although one might be and he was in the news this
week!
http:// thenonprofittimes.com/news-articles/robin-hood-gala-tops-54-million/

Check out the donations collected for one event!
This Foundation needs a DIGGER!!


What brought me to look at "Robinhood" is the "Dalio Family Foundation" (BRIDGEWATER)
and the vast amount of money they have contributed to this foundation over the years.
More incredible is, it was seemingly an easy decision for them to make. Better yet is that will all of the donations
they have made to this and 100's of other foundations, it seem an even easier task for Bridgewater to
ask for a grants in 2012 from their home state for the purpose of moving their offices from one town to
another at a cost of $115M which they never when through with.
(While they went through the motions, I suspect they knew they wouldn't get approval be for they started,
based on the fact they seem to have environmental awareness based on 990 contributions.) I wonder where that money went?
Did they provide a refund for the UN-used portion? The second grant in 2016 came again from the state, when they declared
that they needed a back office, or they would have to out source elsewhere.
52M was granted them for the expansion of the company. This company manages and invests $150B.

Hmmm, how many of us would like grants to build our own somethin somethin!

Meanwhile in 2012, Total Donations/ Grants given for the year $ 477,782,937.00
Robinhood Foundation Received 1M for Hurricane Sandy, In NY, They work and live in CT… Isn't that a big FU.
I will update this post with additional information on the monies given to this Robinhood. In the future.
For now I just wanted to raise the awareness specifically to Robinhood, as I have a feeling we will find bigger eye popping information.
With all the money in this foundation it begs the question, Who's needs do they serve????

basic organization:
Founded in 1988, Robin Hood was conceived by hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones. Peter Borish was also a founding board member of the organization.

The foundation combines investment principles and philanthropy to assist programs that target poverty in New York City. In 2006, the board of directors included such names as Jeffrey Immelt, Diane Sawyer, Harvey Weinstein, Marie-Josee Kravis, Lloyd Blankfein, of Goldman Sachs, Richard S. Fuld, Jr., formerly of Lehman Brothers, Glenn Dubin, of Highbridge Capital, Marian Wright Edelman and actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

Funding for the organization's activities comes from donations and fund raising efforts. In 2009, George Soros gave the foundation a US$50 million contribution. The money reportedly helped the organization raise significantly more than that amount. In 2001 The Concert for New York City provided funds for the organization. After Hurricane Sandy, the 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief concert also provided funds for the foundation's efforts. Artists including The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation, Shakira, John Legend, The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, The Who and Aerosmith have performed at the group's annual fund raising galas.

In 2017, Robin Hood appointed author and veterans advocate Wes Moore as its CEO. Moore grew up in poverty in the Bronx before becoming a Rhodes scholar at the University of Oxford, a paratrooper and captain in the 82nd Airborne, and investment banker at Citigroup. Moore succeeds David Saltzman who was the Executive Director since co-founding the organization.

Following the Mezvinsky:

https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Mezvinsky

Marc Mezvinsky (born December 15, 1977) is an American investment banker and co-founder of the now-defunct hedge fund Eaglevale Partners.

He is the husband of Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton.

After graduation, he worked for eight years as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before leaving to join a private equity firm, but left to start his own hedge fund. In 2011, he co-founded a Manhattan-based hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, with two long-time partners, Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon.

(when sought funding for hedge fund in 2011, found financial backing from one of the biggest names on Wall Street: Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein. The fund, called Eaglevale Partners, was founded by Marc Mezvinsky, and two of his partners. Blankfein not only personally invested in the fund, but allowed his association with it to be used in the fund's marketing.) [scam by using Blankfein's name?]

Mezvinski established a $325 million offshore fund under Eaglevale Partners in 2012 through a special arrangement with Goldman Sachs

In 2011, after eight years with Goldman Sachs, Mezvinsky formed a new hedge fund called Eaglevale Partners. He partnered with former Goldman colleagues Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon.

"Investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; _ an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family__; people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein".

Many Eaglevale investors are also benefactors of Bill and Hillary Clintons' political careers. "Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton.

The senior Clintons and Mezvinskys were friends in the 1990s; their children met on a Renaissance Weekend retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

"released emails from Hillary Clinton's private server reveal that in 2012, while still Secretary of State, _she shared classified information about how Germany viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout, as her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, heavily invested in a hedge fund centered on Greek bonds___"

Adam Waldman

Adam Waldman is the founder, chairman, and president of the Endeavor Group, a D.C. consultancy based about two blocks from the White House. In May 2009, Waldman filed paperwork with the DOJ indicating he would be working with Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska to provide "legal advice on issues involving his U.S. visa as well as commercial transactions."

Deripaska had his U.S. visa revoked in 2006 due to longstanding concerns about his links to organized crime and because the State Department was concerned he lied to American investigators who were looking into his business. However, in August and October 2009, shortly after he began working with Waldman, Deripaska was allowed to make two visits to the U.S. During those trips, Deripaska met with FBI agents about an unspecified criminal probe and with top executives at American companies. The Wall Street Journal reported Deripaska's 2009 trip included meetings with Morgan Stanley, General Motors, and Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

In his initial FARA paperwork, Waldman indicated Endeavor would receive "a monthly retainer of $40,000" for his work with Deripaska. Waldman also said Deripaska was not being "supervised" or "directed" by any foreign government. However, in October 2010, Waldman made another filing indicating he would be working with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, "gathering information and providing advice and analysis as it relates to the U.S. policy towards the visa status of Oleg Deripaska."

As part of its work with Lavrov, Waldman said Endeavor would "engage in correspondence and meetings with U.S. policymakers" about Deripaska's visa. Waldman indicated he had no "formal written contract" with Lavrov and did not specify how much he was being paid. However, Waldman included a letter Lavrov wrote to him Sept. 15, 2010 describing the assignment.

Q Research General #373: DC IN PANIC, POTUS FREED

At the same time, the rules do not restrict donations to Clinton-Kaine. Kaine is a U.S. Senator for Virginia, and not considered a local official under Goldman's rules. Although the memo does say that Goldman partners are no longer able to donate to the Virginia Democratic party, which could be a reference to Kaine. Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman's CEO, has declined to say who he is supporting for president, but is known as a long-time Clinton supporter. Blankfein donated to Clinton when she ran against Obama is 2008.

Q Research General #225: Learn Some History Edition

- Clinton and the CFR(link)
Topics: Political
2016-08-14
Some bloggers were shocked by a Hillary Clinton email, published by WikiLeaks, which includes some "advice" from Jewish billionaire and former CFR director George Soros regarding State Dept policy in Europe. Why the surprise? Soros has donated millions of dollars to the Clintons, and Hillary is on record stating that the CFR oligarchs tell her "what to do and how to think":

"It's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of 'advice' from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future."
– Hillary Clinton speech at CFR, 2009-07-15, video and transcript

Several other recipients of that message are also CFR members, including Richard Verma, Philip Gordon, and William Burns. Someone should cross-check every name in these message dumps to see how many CFR operatives are involved. Former CIA director, Michael Morell, who just endorsed Clinton is a CFR member. He was recently interviewed by Charlie Rose of PBS, also a CFR member, calling for war on Iran.
Besides Soros and son, other high-profile CFR members include Hillary's husband Bill Clinton, advisor Sidney Blumenthal, Victoria Nuland, Robert Kagan, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Henry Kissinger, Strobe Talbott, Robert Rubin, David Rubenstein, Michael Bloomberg, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, Laurence Fink, Steve Schwarzman, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, and CFR godfather David Rockefeller.
The banks that paid millions in "speaking fees" to the Clintons (Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, BlackRock et al) are CFR sponsors. Media organizations including Time-Warner/CNN, Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, Google and Facebook are CFR sponsors. Many of the network execs and propagandists covering for the Clintons are CFR members:

Time-Warner: Jeffrey Bewkes (TW chairman), Gary Ginsberg (VP), Carol Melton (VP), Richard Plepler (HBO president, CFR director)
Time-Warner/CNN: David Gergen, Christiane Amanpour, Paula Zahn, Jake Tapper, Fareed Zakaria, James Sciutto, Rana Foroohar
Viacom/CBS: Stephen Capus (CBS News), Christopher Isham, Katie Couric, Leslie Stahl, Bob Schieffer, Margaret Brennan, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite (d)
Comcast/NBC: Cesar Conde (NBC Intl), Andrea Mitchell, Mika Brzezinski, Charles "Joe" Scarborough, Maria Bartiromo, Brian Williams, Marvin Kalb, Tom Brokaw
Disney/ABC: Benjamin Sherwood (ABC president), Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopolus, Barbara Walters, Juju Chang
PBS: Margaret Warner (CFR director), Jim Lehrer, Judy Woodruff, Charlie Rose
Google: Eric Schmidt (CEO), Jared Cohen (Jigsaw, CFR fellow)
Facebook: Sheryl Sandberg (COO)

Q Research General #50 CHECKMATE Edition

When Hillary Clinton's son-in-law sought funding for his new hedge fund in 2011, he found financial backing from one of the biggest names on Wall Street: Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein.

The fund, called Eaglevale Partners, was founded by Chelsea Clinton's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, and two of his partners. Blankfein not only personally invested in the fund, but allowed his association with it to be used in the fund's marketing.

The investment did not turn out to be a savvy business decision. Earlier this month, Mezvinsky was forced to shutter one of the investment vehicles he launched under Eaglevale, called Eaglevale Hellenic Opportunity, after losing 90 percent of its money betting on the Greek recovery. The flagship Eaglevale fund has also lost money, according to the New York Times.

Hillary Clinton Won't Say How Much Goldman Sachs CEO Invested With Her Son-in-Law

There has been minimal reporting on the Blankfein investment in Eaglevale Partners, which is a private fund that faces few disclosure requirements. At a campaign rally in downtown San Francisco on Thursday, I attempted to ask Hillary Clinton if she knew the amount that Blankfein invested in her son-in-law's fund.

Q Research General #5: Emergency Baking Already! Edition

Loop Capital Chairman and CEO Jim Reynolds speaks to Capitol Intelligence/BBN using CI Glass following Closing the Wealth Gap hosted by US House Financial Services Ranking Member (((Maxine Waters))) (D-CA) at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, DC. September 16, 2016]

While most of Wall Street may know (((Jim Reynolds))) as the (((golfing buddy))) of President (((Barack Obama))) Goldman Sachs CEO (((Lloyd Blankfein))) JP Morgan Chase CEO (((Jamie Dimon))) and Citigroup's (((Michael L. Corbat))) know Mr. Reynolds as Chicago's top investment banker.

You will not meet America's new blue bloods in SF/Palo Alto, Boca Raton Florida but at the same playing fields of America's old blue bloods: Martha's Vineyard, Sag Harbor/East Hampton and Middleburg, Virginia.

Reynolds has been able to build Loop Capital over the last few years into Chicago's foremost investment bank and M&A house, overshadowing local banks such as The Chicago Corporation and into the leagues of US middle-market investment banks such as New York's Evercore Partners, Sandler O'Neill and Guggenheim Partners; and Southern California's Roth Capital Partners.

A great example of Loop Capital's success was being named co-M&A adviser along with Goldman Sachs by Exelon Corp (NYSE: EXC) for its USD 13.4 bn takeover of Washington, DC area utility Pepco Holdings (NYSE: POM)..
