Duh
And to all the people who were truly enthralled with this guy...well sorry. Was it entertaining, I didn't think so. Was it douchey ? Absolutely.

Pretty sure everyone knew that he wasn't associated with the firm
But he was anon. Not outside of the street crowd people were buyin it Ive seen fbook people posting and ranting and raving about this guy and his awesome rules and they thought it was GS.
Right. Next the Times will write about how the guy who writes LSO isn't actually a banker. SHOCKER.

Finally! Taking into account his tweets his actual place of work was not relevant at all. It was just fun. I have one question: in that NY Times article it was said that he had sold a book... What book was that? Did I miss something?
Yeah. He has a book deal in the works.

I found his tweets entertaining. However, I think it was quite obvious he did not work at GS. If he did, GS would have found out a long time ago and fired him.
Was it entertaining? Uuh hell yeah, ofcourse it was. People who take his tweets serious are idiots but that doesnt mean the tweets in itself are not funny. I always read them. Not a surprise though he doesn't really work for Goldman. Like Screwed_IBD above me says, that would have made it way too easy to catch him.
People don't get satire anymore
Haha, I saw that and was surprised by the lighthearted nature of their response
That was funny. I lol'ed.
Gotta hand it to him, this is priceless.

Ha, there's actually a bunch of great nuggets in there. Here are some others I liked...

And this one reminds me of one particular WSO user...
I agree. +1 to you. Look at his Feb. entries https://twitter.com/GSElevator,
Person behind GSElevator revealed!!! (Originally Posted: 02/24/2014)
John Lefevre (GSElevator)
He never worked at GS!!!

So unexpected... totally thought it was going to be Blankfein.
I guess Mr. Blankfein is going to have a monologue with himself in the elevators from now on.
Did anyone actually expect the person running the account to work there?
Always imagined the poster to be a NYC/Hong Kong based Fixed Income MD at Goldman.
Still has some of the funniest tweets on twitter
Anyone who has worked in banking or at GS could easily tell you there is no way GSElevator worked at Goldman
Also, you are wrong on #2
well at least he worked in finance
Does anybody know exactly how he got revealed?
Huge cockblock to be quite frank. I was hoping it would be Obama.
you don't know what "cockblock" means, do you.
