Goldman CEO Blankfein hires high profile defense attorney



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Wall Street has skated by without a scratch so there's little reason to think anything significant is going to happen. Bloomberg:

Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein has hired high-profile Washington defense attorney Reid Weingarten, according to a government source, as the Justice Department continues to investigate the bank.

Blankfein, 56, is in his sixth year at the helm of the largest U.S. investment bank, which has spent two years fending off accusations of conflicts of interest and fraud.

The move to retain Weingarten comes as investigations of Goldman and its role in the 2007-2009 financial crisis continue.
