did Goldman screw Lehman?

finishing up on Too Big to Fail by Andrew Sorkin. Sorkin heavily insinuates in the narrative by various bankers that GS was helping the short on Lehman and contributed to its demise. any truth to this?

Dick Fuld screwed Lehman. Goldman wasn't the only one shorting them.

Here to learn and hopefully pass on some knowledge as well. SB if I helped.
