Since the lowest point of the financial crisis (whose name itself is a joke – turns out it was a financial opportunity for the investment banks), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) has increased nearly 500% in value, making Lloyd a billionaire.
In addition, the federal government is crammed at the very highest levels with GS alumni. If there were any justice, or a munificent God, Goldman would have gone bankrupt in late 2008, but that, of course, wasn’t allowed to happen. Well-played, Goldman. Your greed, and your success, knows no bounds.
