Abstract: Goldman Sachs, one of the most profitable and powerful investment banks in the world had become the favorite target of anti-bank protestors in the US, after the Securities Exchange Commission, indicted the bank for its alleged role in misleading the mortgage investors. The bank’s corporate culture also came under scrutiny after its Executive Director Greg Smith resigned from the bank alleging that firm was making money by ripping its clients. The case looks into the role of investment banks like Goldman Sachs during the US financial crisis and the details of the instruments created by then during the US housing bubble and also envelopes the debate on corporate ethics and legality. |
