Goldman Settles Sham Suit With SEC
Market Commentary | Politics | SEC | Stocks
The SEC announced a few minutes ago that they settled their suit against Goldman Sachs (GS) for $550 million. Goldman did not admit or deny the SEC’s allegations though it acknowledged that its marketing materials for the ABACUS synthetic CDO were incomplete for not disclosing Paulson’s role in the selection of the portfolio.
Goldman’s shares are soaring in the after-hours.
