This I would like to see. According to Taibbi:

Apparently Goldman has weighed suing me for… well, I’m not exactly

sure what the grounds would be. Being annoying? Covering finance

without a nice enough tie?

I seriously doubt they would do something like this, but if they

actually have considered such a step, that says a lot about their

mentality. If the bank really wanted to defuse controversy at a time

when people are pissed at Wall Street they could have juggled their

second-quarter profit numbers to make them look less obscene, or

announced even a nominal loan forgiveness program for some of their

notorious subsidiary Litton’s struggling customers, something like

that. Instead… well, we’ll see if this is true. I doubt it.
